Subject:Rebuilt engine
From:David Boan
Date:Sun, 6 Apr 2014 13:50:09 -0500

I am getting ready to buy a rebuilt engine for my '85 Westy, and am looking
seriously at the Go Westy 2300 1.9L.  I would appreciate any comments from
anyone who has experience with this engine, and any ideas about this versus
going for the 2300 for the 86-91 model years.

I am also considering having the shop that does the install also rebuild the
transaxle at the same time, or perhaps getting the Go Westy rebuilt
transaxle.  I am assuming it makes sense to do both the engine and the
transaxle at the same time (they have 225,000 miles and never rebuilt).  I
welcome anyone with suggestions on that idea and/or experience with the Go
Westy transaxle.

Thank you
