I agree on loving a red engine bay, they do have a certain POP when presented nicely.



Can't say the same for Mr. Ciprian "Chip" Ursu however. I wouldn't be taking your engine back for any more work. When he vanished into thin air, he blatantly robbed many customers of several thousands of dollars worth of parts and money. I got away fairly lightly comparatively speaking. He only stole a complete engine, 2 new spare housings and $2,800 in cash from me. There were others who lost much more.

Its a 1985 Toyota Corolla 1.6l with a 4ac motor…single cam, rectified and balanced., oversized aluminum pistons to .040, Schneider reground cam to .270, adjustable aluminum cam sprocket with a 32/36 Weber carburetor with electric choke…..I think I’m missing some other stuff but it’s a general description….

Are you using vacuum advance on your Dellorto? I see some hoses going to what I think is where the optional vacuum nipples would be.
