piazzanoob Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I would recommend the engine be stripped down and checked for surface rust and debris and clean in the bores and oiled up otherwise could cause oil ring to seize due to rust/debris getting stuck in it on startup.

d.p.n.s Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah you may want to pull the motor down man. 5 years is a long time to just sit might have been sweet if it was religiously turned over.. But welcome mate and get some pics up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave123456789 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Once matts cars done ben we doing mine, yours can sit at the back of the queue. For ignition I would just run an electronic setup to remove the points, extractors you could prob by off the shelf from coby, and webers did you want to go new or second hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipsittin Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well the engine is stripped I would go for a cam that is much more driveable than the A6. They are ok if your engine is constantly sitting above 6000-7000rpm, but hopeless trying to drive anywhere in traffic. Technology in cam designs is on our side these days letting us have a nice engine tone with a good rev range and driveability all in one. Just food for thought as I have had that cam and sidedraght combo and it wasn't very friendly on the road. Also you will have to have very well built tuned extractors and a well thought out exhaust to gain any benifits from the cam/carb combo too Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
