Engine |
| Starting on the engine while the body is out of the shop. Universal VW case. Basic clean-up on the castings and coated with VHT ceramic paint. Chromoly case studs and a CB full flow oil pump. | |
| Stock heater boxes and a single quite pack. Just back from the powdercoater. They'll be seeing a lot of me. | |
| Ported and polished heads. TRW valves. New valve guides and a 3 angle valve job. Single high rev springs with chromoly retainers. | |
| Mocking up the engine. I polished the generator stand and welded in the breather port on the billet filler neck. Kobelschmidt pistons and cylinders. Engle 100 cam. Stock crank and rods. Everything balanced for a smooth running engine. | |
| This is the first time I've used these EMPI push rod tubes. Hope they don't leak..... | |
| Just about done. Waiting for the tin to come back from powdercoat. I decided on basic black. Should be a good reliable 1641 engine. I think I'll run 40 dellortos and match port the intakes. |
