Need Bosch Spider engine in NC! Anyone?
Bought a cheap '85 Graduate in great condition except
for a badly overheated and damaged engine.
Removed and replaced head and gasket after resurfacing
but still have low dry compression around
25psi/cylinder. Wet compression will jump to 125 psi on
#1 and 135psi on #4. #1 and #2 stay around 25psi.
Valves are within limits, cam timing correct. Suspect
damaged compression rings and blowby as a result of
overheating. Around 110K miles on original engine.
Ready to have the head redone by Sperry and possibly
install pistons and liners. Maybe it's more cost
effective to just swap the whole engine.
Anyone have a lead on a good used motor in the area?
Someone in Atlanta had one. Eric Hambleton(sp.?)?
Thanks!
Jeff
