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.

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.

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.

lol wasnt the ring that was broken, its the piston its self, between the ring and oil seal , a good sign of over boost at some stage in its life!... oh now its a totaly re-con'd engine, top end,bottom end,new pistons etc etc etc, should last a life time now, well it fu**in better!!!!!!

so what was wrong with the engine Ray
Midlife crisis ·
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.
