Hi guys,
�
I'm helping a fellow Rochestarian out with an 84 Westy - yes it is monkey poo yellow.� Seems like the valve spring retainer cup split in half allowing�one valve to really bang up against the piston.� The valve broke off and got jammed into the head but also punctured a hole into the piston.� SO assuming that there may be some piston chips in the engine block, I think this engine needs a full rebuilt and splitting the case to clean any stray metal. I had a set of heads ready to replace but now with the busted piston it is moot.
�
�I am now looking for a good running or rebuildable 1.9 Ltr.� WasserLeaker engine somewhere in the North East with some life left.� If anyone has an engine collecting dust or soon snow somewhere within a days drive of Rochester, please let me know.
