Sorry, dude, no time and just sold my diesel syncro wagon. Can't fit engine(s) in a lowerd wabbit.
I've driven from toronto to boston and back in one day, twice. It's a fun adventure. 6 hours ain't bad.  :)
I'll write up a receipt for say $100 to keep the tax (if any) at the boarder cheap.

How long can they sit? If they can sit until I can get up there I will take them. I have no clue when that could be though.

I want them. I don't know if I can get them by that time. I don't have whatever it takes to get across the border either right now. Where are you and I will see what I can do. Let me know where you are and I will see what I can do.

Post by: Dr. Diesel on December 05, 2010, 07:40:48 am
Stoney Creek, Ontario. about 25mins from the queenston/lewiston bridge near niagara falls. Three shortblocks will fit into just about any car's trunk. I'd imagine there's gonna be a bunch of other tidbits you'll be driving away with too, as I cull my parts heap to a moveable size.

Post by: theman53 on December 05, 2010, 07:45:10 am
Google says 6 hours one way. Not bad. I could do it in a day. What is needed for me to cross the border?
Title: Re: FS: AAZ core engines Price Drop #4
Post by: Dr. Diesel on December 05, 2010, 12:13:32 pm
i've driven from here to boston and back in a day, so 6 hrs definitely isn't bad. :)
You need a valid passport.
Title: Re: FS: AAZ core engines Price Drop #4
Post by: theman53 on December 05, 2010, 12:17:55 pm
working on it.

Post by: fdnyguy on December 05, 2010, 01:56:25 pm
Does your state have any type of "enhanced" drivers licenses? Here in NY, they offer it for border crossings from Canada, Mexico and some Caribbean countries. It will not work on air travel, but obviously you will be driving. Showing some authorized documents to NYS DMV will let you obtain the enhanced drivers license. Maybe your state has the same, if you don't live in NY.

Good Luck.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

Good luck. You pay $$$ for the expedited process.  NY State gives us that option w/o a passport with the license.

Anybody nearby that can hold these blocks for after the 10th???

Good luck on the sale, and good luck over there, Bryson.

Maybe you can show the Chinese how to make better VW parts.. :)

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

Post by: theman53 on December 07, 2010, 04:46:06 am
There is no way to get the passport even the expedited I tried wouldn't get it by the weekend. If they could have it would have been way too much cash to make it possible anyway for the expedited fee. I want all the engines, but cant get there. Would you be willing to take them to the border or get someone to do so? Would somone else be willing to do it for me?
Title: Re: FS: AAZ core engines Price Drop #4
Post by: Dr. Diesel on December 07, 2010, 07:01:26 am
I would without hesitation, but I simply don't have time. I can ask a friend (now non-active smokeydub on here) if he would mind stashing them for you. Please let me know what the time frame is for getting a passport so I can give him an idea of how long they'll be cluttering up his space. ;D

As of ( Tuesday December 7, 2010  ), we are processing routine applications in approximately 4-6 weeks from the time of application

expedited is 2-4 and much more $$$. Let me know if I can come in the new year to your pals place. I will start working on the deal now.

good news.  a friend of mine said he can bring them across the niagara boarder this saturday for $100.
Let me know if you want to go that route, as I'll have to arrange w/ him asap.

I left at 2AM eastern this morning. I got back around 5:00pm after a little detour. 300miles one way about 425 on the way back. I have pics to post later.
I am excited. I met a real Canadian named Rich. Last time I was in Canada was when I drank...alot...Every bar in Windsor the weekend I was there ran out of Jack Daniels, Bacardi, and another that I can't remember now. It was bad, I have since cleaned up. I met Canadians then, but have no rememberance of them ;).

I rode like that for 6 hours back from Niagra Falls. I only leaked oil from one of them. The only one on my carpet, 3 decent sized drops that I will have to deal with. I unloaded them all myself and there is no noticable difference in weight from the 1.6 and the 1.9. All made me squeeze out a fart to pick them out of the car, no lie.


IDK and WTF....UNBELIEVABLE weird S******* happening on the way up and back. My SKY HIGH EGT's...about half way up just stopped being hot. They would level out about 1150-1200F in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. 1st and 2nd still pull enough that it wasn't stopping then. I thought for sure on the way back that it would be real bad with a little extra in the car. SAME as the way up. No more than 1,200F in the high gears. I don't know what the deal was but I hope it stays.


I have been up since 2am and am starting to get down to just my instincts...real cavemanish-EAT, something, SLEEP is all I am about right now. No intelligence, no empathy, I don't really make sense to me now. You all might not notice a differeence but I do ;D

Maybe it was the clean cold canadian air being pushed south by the jetstream!  ;) ;D

Glad to hear you made it ok man!

I finally got the Golf out on the highway last weekend on a trip to Columbus, @75 MPH the EGT's don't go above 800 unless I put my foot in it to accelerate.  WOO-HOO!

I hope you get your EGT situation sorted out.  At this point I'm probably running more fuel than you are. LOL

I'm trying to talk my buddy into swapping an AAZ into his Jeep.  He just dropped like $475 for a transmission service.  I told him that would pay for and probably cover about 3/4's of a rebuild on one AAZ.  :P

He still has the heads just not the blocks as far as I know. He did say he could store the heads so I don't think they are for sale until he is settled in China or wherever he was going.
