So for my second post , I have an engine question. Among the many parts I got with the Snow Trac was an engine that was apparently overheated and damaged after about 30 mins run time. The facts are second hand so no details, just that it was a refurbished engine that the previous owner put in it, then ran it without the proper cowlings etc.
so now I have this 1600 dual port that looks great externally, crank moves by hand, the rest is a mystery. I've never worked on a VW engine, but I may make this the first. What type of damage would you expect ? Should I contact a mechanic or is this something I can tackle. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but not a mechanic.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
