<html> <body> You can see their web page at <a href="http://www.gowesty.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=gw&Category_Code=mp-eng-rbe" eudora="autourl">http://www.gowesty.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=gw&Category_Code=mp-eng-rbe</a><br><br> Anyone order one yet, or have any technical opinions about what is going on here? <br><br> 1. 10:1 compression, seems like might be unreliable?????????<br><br> 2. Seems to imply that it may not pass emissions test for the 2.4L whereas says the 2.25L will pass emissions. <br><br> I just saw this site today and am seeing what people's opinions are and if anyone has a Go Westy engine could comment on their experiences. If we could get 10 list members to go buy this engine and then use it for a year and report back that would be best. <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br> <x-sigsep><p></x-sigsep> <font size=3>________________________________________________________<br> Derek Drew Washington, DC<br> derekdrew@rcn.com<x-tab> </x-tab> Phone 202-966-7907<br> Email me for viscous coupling s (Cell 703-408-1532)<br> '90 Syncro Westfalia... <br> ...seen off-road at <br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/Syncro_Madness_Area.htm" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/Syncro_Madness_Area.htm</a><br> ...seen with 30.5" tall tires at<br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/images/dereks245_75_16.jpg" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/images/dereks245_75_16.jpg</a> <br> Note: most valuable Vanagon sites on the planet (for owners) are:<br> <a href="http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=vanagon" eudora="autourl">http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=vanagon</a><br> <a href="http://gerry.vanagon.com/files/" eudora="autourl">http://gerry.vanagon.com/files/</a><br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro</a> <br> <a href="http://www.vanagon.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.vanagon.com</a> <br> <a href="http://www.syncro.org/" eudora="autourl">http://www.syncro.org</a> <br> Many of my Syncro list postings consolidated<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/messagesearch?query=212-580-6486" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/messagesearch?query=212-580-6486</a><br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/messagesearch?query=202-966-7907" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/messagesearch?query=202-966-7907</a> <br> My refrigerator article: <br> <a href="http://www.vanagon.com/info/articles/Refrigerator/Reefer_Madness.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.vanagon.com/info/articles/Refrigerator/Reefer_Madness.htm</a><br> All About 16" Wheels And The CV-900.htm<br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/All_About_16-Wheels_And_The_CV_900.htm" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/All_About_16-Wheels_And_The_CV_900.htm</a><br> All About Viscous Couplings<br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/viscous_couplings_vanagon_syncro.htm" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/vanagon/viscous_couplings_vanagon_syncro.htm</a><br> How To Live With Heavy List Volume--Mail Filters<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7403" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7403</a><br> My article that shows how to deal with insurance companies: <br> <a href="http://gerry.vanagon.com/files/auto-insurance-madness.html" eudora="autourl">http://gerry.vanagon.com/files/auto-insurance-madness.html</a><br> To read some material about how to add a front differential lock to your syncro<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/13105" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/13105</a><br> To view Wolfgang's incredibly informative wheel article<br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/fitbigtiresonvanagon.htm" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/fitbigtiresonvanagon.htm</a> <br> To view Tim Smith's incredibly useful gearing calculator<br> <a href="http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/syncrotireandgearratios.xls" eudora="autourl">http://users.rcn.com/derekdrew/syncrotireandgearratios.xls</a> <br> To view two articles about how to think about improving your gears at transmission rebuild time<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7207" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7207</a><br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7221" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/7221</a><br> To view an overview article about choices in larger sized tires see<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/11535" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/11535</a> <br> To view some 16" Trailing Arms that enable much larger tires see<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/syncrolist/files/Wheels,%20Tires%20%26%20Gearing/Wheel%20%26%20Tire%20Photos/16_Inch_Trailing_Arm.jpg" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/syncrolist/files/Wheels%2C%20Tires%20%26%20Gearing/Wheel%20%26%20Tire%20Photos/16_Inch_Trailing_Arm.jpg</a><br> My article about belt protectors and CV joint protectors<br> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/6112" eudora="autourl">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Syncro/message/6112</a><br> SYNCRO OWNERS WHO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD:<br> You only get to change your ring and pinions once every 10 years <br> because that's how long the average syncro transmission goes before <br> its next rebuild. If you want bigger tires and more ground clearance<br> start planning your higher number ring and pinion sets right now so you <br> can take advantage of your next trans rebuild. <br> </font></body> </html>
