    We watch them all the time. I think it's engine rebuild number 4?
    With all that dust and muck, I'm surprised the radiator cools their engine at all.

  8. I follow this pair on YT. They have overcome so many issues over the years. As iblaze said they have a long list of engine rebuilds, body rebuilds and interior refits, all during their travels. The power of positivity keeps them on the road!

    I think I would have cleaned the dirt off the engine before making sure some of it went into the cylinders by scraping above open cylinder bores. Perhaps thats the secret to many rebuilds..

    I'm pretty sure that the original engine is somewhere in our college Motor Vehicle dept. garages

    You best box it up and get it shipped over to them

    There are more precision parts on a Scooby that wont like being caked in dust and then dusted with it.


    Plus the thought that delivering more average power than the donor car needed , driving for thousands of hard miles, manages to destroy a Scooby in the same way a Beetle engine gets destroyed in a bus..those pistons were being thrashed..
