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.
