Re: Random cutouts, fine the next day

Funk, correct me if I am wrong but the DJ engine uses the Digijet injection system, correct? We never had any DJ engine vans here in the USA but I have a local customer that has a DJ engine Doka that I worked on last year so I think I am remembering correctly. I would do a test of the temp II sensor...

Re: WBX head seal job = Get a garage to do it ?

We usually charge around $3200US for a rebuilt engine, but I don't like to ship them because I want to be the person who installs it to know what they are doing. I shipped a couple in the past and had mixed results with them actually lasting. However the ones that I have installed myself are all sti...

Re: WBX head seal job = Get a garage to do it ?

I have done and seen my fair share of engine conversions. When I first started out we did a 5-cylinder conversion out of an Audi GT Coupe with parts from South Africa. When Tiico (4 cylinder from SA as well) came along we did a few of those and they were the easiest since everything was included (st...

Re: WBX head seal job = Get a garage to do it ?

I feel the shop's pain when dealing with these engines. I used to do what this other fellow is describing. I would get an outside rebuild shop to do the engine, get the customer to get the engine through that person, and then just do the install. However after years of struggling with problems with ...

Re: WBX head seal job = Get a garage to do it ?

The upper cylinder o-rings are always crap. They are sometimes unrecognizable. If you didn't know they were there, you would have thought that the upper part of the cylinder was just sealed with the metal compression ring. Which makes me wonder what the upper cylinder o-ring actually does? I mean wh...

Re: WBX head seal job = Get a garage to do it ?

Good evening folks. My name is Ken Wilford and I live across the pond here in the USA. One of your members asked me to join the forum and talk about waterboxer head gaskets since you folks have been discussing my youtube video I posted a few weeks ago. I guess there has been some controversy on repl...
