John,
I got my new (used) block from Stratus when I tore mine down and needed a
new block. New rings, bearings etc. were from a local shop.
FYI, Hugh

I've had an intermittant overheating problem and have broken down my Stratus
EA-81 engine. This block had previous work done that left the #3 cylinder
deck with a dip in it. I was burning water in this cylider. It also had
passed some metal of some sort thru the left side and dinged the #1 and #3
pistons. I need a new block as well as a total rebuild. Crank, Rods, Cam
and heads are OK. My idea is to get a running car motor and rebuild using
my heads and possibly crank and cam.
1. Does anyone have a good source for parts? ie master rebuild
2. How do you identify the year of the EA-81 engine? numbers etc. Are
they all the same as far as accessory locations, so I can use my
Alt, redrive etc. 3. If I opt to purchase a rebuilt engine any
recommendations
4. I would also like to have new mounts manufactured as I am not
happy with the quality of this metal
Thanks
John
