I might just have to go that route to prove to the 914 crowd that I can actually build a motor. Could you imagine? Those guys would pass out from disbelief. Not only did Grant buiild a motor - Jake helped him. LOL!

My little 2.7 just keeps trucking along with 75k on the clock. I have been following the Raby threads and ever since the topic first came up, I have been putting a little away every month in anticipation of the time when I will need to replace my engine. I think the price is reasonable considering what you are getting in return.

The idea of a kit with instructions is intriguing. I have built lots of american engines over the years, and several motorcycle engines, but the idea of tearing down one of these flat sixes has made me feel uneasy. If the kit (when finished) proves to be as advertised, I may go that route.

But for the meantime, I'll just keep beating on my 2.7 until it one day cries "uncle". But I'm convinced that a Raby built motor is in my future.
