Aircooled engine problems

Post by **robthechemist** » 11 Feb 2008, 16:24

Hi all,

I'm the proud owner of a 1980 2.0L Aircooled T25 Devon, but I'm having problems with the power output.

It doesn't have the original CU engine, but has that of an older car/ van (possibly the type 4). I know the tappets need adjusting, but can anyone reccomend a course of action to increase the amount of power? The pennines are killing her

Here's a pic of what is in the engine bay.

Any advice welcome!

Cheers,

Rob

Can't see pictures.

Any chance of a non pass worded site?

Not quite the same looking as mine....

No it's not a CU engine at all...I'm in uncharted waters now...

1.6 CT engine?

Doesn't look like a standard 1.6 CT that I know of. I got one and it doesnt look anything like that!

looks like a 1.8 type 4 motor to me.

can you find the engine code??

Post by **robthechemist** » 12 Feb 2008, 22:31

I've not taken the tinwork off yet, but I've found 2 stamps. One with CI and the other ZN. Need to have a look when it's light.

My apologies, I think the engine is a CJ code, does this help?

The CJ engine is a 2.0ltr air cooled engine but from a Bay, it is the forerunner of the CU motor, nothing wrong with it just not correct for your vehicle.
