I picked Marlin up for $1000. its a 86 GL wasserboxer
it has a small dent behind the drivers door and a Dropped valve seat.
So the first thing we are going to do is pull the head off and have a look see.

Sweet pickup for $1K - good deal even with a dropped valve seat.
Thanks
thats what I thought when it was offered to me at that price
Now I have to get the head off and check it out.
Hopefully I can get it running for Valla.

Crikey, that's only $142.86 per seat!
Good luck with the valve.

thanks guys
really happy with the find.
As for Mods not sure yet depends on what I will do about the motor may Go Subi as I have one sitting in the garage and sell the wasserboxer as it was a good runner before the valve seat dropped.
Well Chris it may go to Valla just depends on what we do about the motor.

I have not pulled the motor out yet .
I will be leaving the engine together and selling as is.
But i am sure it is a dropped valve seat.
