@Stan Galat posted:The EFI is wired and ready. I put the 2234 in the car and mounted carbs and a distributor for the break-in.
To be as brief as possible, break-in did not go well, unless the idea was to fog the entire neighborhood for mosquitoes. I broke in the cam, and started taking it apart. The heads (and possibly the pistons and cylinders) need some work, which means the new engine comes out again and the standby 2110 will be going back in.
I guess that means Mr. Pip and me will fire the EFI on the 2110, then try again with the 2234 when I put Humpty-Dumpty back together again.
I tell myself I'm having fun, but I'm a lying liar who lies.
This would be surprising if your 2234 was like every other air-cooled 4 banger out there, but you're pushing the tech on a lot more than one front.
There's a cost to scratching that "make it better" itch and by doing so making it simple for the next guy. We're thankful when folks forge a new path.
