Subject:My ultimate section, but, 1.9 or 2.1
From:Benny boy

Lately, slowly, for the past month, i have been working on what i would call
my "utimate web section" (on my site), this section will almost be a mini
web-site, about 5 to 9 page of pitures & explanation, of course, for those
who know me it won't be about tires :-) This will not be my final section
but close to it, i have done a lot for those vans and i will take that
smooth for the next year starting with my trip to Mexico next December.

And of course, it will be about the engine:
-How to prepare yourself (mentally and physically)
-Which tools
-how to drain coolant
-how to remove the engine
-how to clean the engine
-how to put the engine in pieces
-how to analyse parts and their conditions
-how to clean and prep parts
-how to put the engine back together (it will be a top-end, pistons and heads)
-how to put back the engine IN
-how to bleed van and break the new engine.

I already have most pictures, but not all, many are missing.
So to my question: i would like to know if i should use a 1.9L or a 2.1L?
(mostly 2.1L for now!!!)

If a poll would be possible i would do one but it's not, so, i thought that
listee could post here what they have.

Next Sunday, i'm doing a very ugly and oily 87, i will start taking the
missing pictures, but! next week, after that engine, i'm going in Nova
Scotia to install a Vanaru 2.5L near Halifax, but after that, i'm doing an
ugly and sick 1.9L...

And as those engine are so similar, i don't want to do 1 section for each
engine. One will be enough.

So i'm just curious, is there more 1.9L owner? or 2.1L
