Thanks for the info guys. Do you know what the numbers in a circle represent on the block?

If the pad behind the starter doesn't have a clear stamping on it,
I bet it's a factory rebuild or replacement.

What series (121, E12, E21, 1.8) is the head?

With rebuilds, it's always a crapsh ...

Hey all,
I recently bought a used engine from 02 Salvage, and I'm trying to figure out what year it is. I've tried searching the forums but haven't found the answers I'm looking for. The head ...

what happened? last time I drove your car, it felt good. I don't have anything in my "inventory" engine wise, give me a call if you might need anything else.

Thanks Michael. I'm not sure what ha ...

The time has come for a replacement engine. I'm strongly considering buying one of 02 Salvage's $695 engines, as I don't have thousands to spend. Has anyone bought an engine from them? Or, does any ...

Does anyone have a recomendation for a supplier?
thanks,
Ben

Rob,
I think I would need to read the whole story before figuring what to draw. BTW, who is Superpants?? I would describe my style as illustrative I suppose. Here's a couple of drawings. Unfo ...

I'd be interested in doing some drawings for you, though I'm not really a "professional"...I'm pretty decent with a pencil or with ink.

Yea, the O-ring...thanks, I'll get a new one(or two)and try not to bungle it getting it on.

Does anyone have a method for removing and/or replacing the rubber bushing on the dizzy shaft? I've already broken one trying to get it out with a small screwdriver.
Thanks,
Ben

Nice work! I'm not a pro, but I posted these a while back.

The pain...but at least you're okay. I had a similar experience when I was 16. I bought my first car, a '70 2002 for $850, and a few months later a big ass truck lost its brakes and slammed my car. ...

I think that's a great idea and that you should buy another one now, while they're still affordable. Plus, you'll have more time to improve upon them, and buy parts, which are costing more and more a ...

Nice Michael! I spy a sweet Alfa Giulia Spyder (my favorite Alfa) behind the Renault. Oh, to drive through Provence in a tasty little sports car...what a fantasy.

Haven't the oil companies been posting record profits lately?? On a similar note, does anyone know how much oil is being sold in Euros versus how much in U.S. dollars?

Benz, if you mean the car is one and the same as the overhead that Kfunk posted, I doubt that is possible.
My shots were taken 4 days ago, and the one KFunk posted is obviously at a recent councours ...

Man, that is so sweet. What a thrill to see those cars. The HS looks the same in both photos except the roof appears tan on the overhead shot but looks black in the recent photo. But how many would ...

Anyone know why the average for a '71 02 is ~13K and a '71 tii is ~9K? Seems odd.

I was under the impression Tii's didn't come out til '72, so it must be a glitch on their end...kind of like their ...

$350-400 is probably a bit high, even though they are nice seats. IMHO, if you can get $300 you've done pretty well, might have to settle for a bit less say $200-250, or maybe barter something.
Good ...

I have one of these and they are fantastic. They dry out real quick but keep the car dry in heavy weather. http://www.autoanything.com/car-covers/60A1009A0A0A2630483.aspx

Yea buddy--those are sweet looking!

Prices are creeping up as we speak. The car you describe could be worth 16K, though just a couple of years ago it would probably have been 12K. Still, it's not that much money when you consider the ...

I have to chime in with a wholehearted disagreement, GWB, on your statement that Obama is worse than Bush. It's simply not a reasonable premise since Obama has not even been elected, or served as pre ...

Hmmm, a simple conjecture sparks a wealth of knowledge and opinions...good stuff.
Gwb: can you explain your economic prognostications?...I'm intrigued.
F1: I like your posts a lot, but I think we ...

I gotta wonder if he kept taking it throughout his life...like the guy who invented ecstacy...lives in the Bay area and still concocts all kinds of drugs.

Great topic! I think there should be a distinction between factory and aftermarket-tuned however, and a distinction between street and track cars.. The convertibles as pointed out, and the turbos a ...

Excellent photos! I love the angle on the 2nd one, but the first one is great too.

I had this problem once, after repeatedly removing my panel in an effort to fix another problem, I accidentally disengaged one of the wires going into the 12 pin connector on the back of the panel. R ...

Not sure about an alternative, but I bought a used one for $20 from Double 02 Salvage in Hayward Ca, and it's been fine for a while now.

Don't sell it...you'll always want another one! Fix it and drive it.,,sounds like minor problems anyway. If you do sell, then it would be good of you to post it on this site so it could go to a fell ...
