Subject:Engine teardown - 2.1L WBX
From:John Rodgers

In an earlier post I told of someone running my engine hot. Result: gotta
have the engine rebuilt. Decided to go all the way with it - all new
everything. Pushrods were bent indicating stuck valves from over heating.
Both heads were cracked beyond any repair so all new AMC heads with new
everything are going back on.

Right now removal of two piston pins is a problem.  Any suggestions on
that. The rebuilder is very good, but this one has him up a stump. I'm sure
he will eventually succeed but any suggestions might be of benefit to speed
matters along.

Thanks,

John
