Isn't having electric ignition the point of not needing any extra anything

Hi from the UK Watched it all dropped a sub I made a similar mistake with the oil pressure valve (mine were stuck closed) the oil cooler survived It was the oil seal on the filter that popped first for me I wasted hours and hours on the valve geometry there's lots of conflicting advice out there Did mine with button spirit levels on the valve the one on the adjusting screw Hope its right

The 1968cc is our favourite build. It's so bullet proof and a easy build. I must admit, we never use that cam profile in them, but I'm guessing it was supplied by the customer?

@@mathewboyd3746 man the 110 cam is such an old, well known profile. If you normally use scat, it’s essentially a C35. But yes he provided the cam as he already had it at the house.

I'm 56 and i love VWs, my father would playfully argue that they should have made the 1699 (1700) 85,5X74 instead of the 1600. he believed the 74mm crack gives u more streetable HP in low to mid rang. lil snappier in the seat of your pants he would say. lol. loved watching, thank u for your time.

So me and my friend has gone back and forth about this, he would get a guy who builds racing bugs for a living to build his engine and pay $5000 to $6000 and I would get a very well-known vw shop to build mine, I would spend $1700 to $2000 and I would tell him his engine is no better than mine. I told him I'm not paying that damn much money for something that does the same thing. my 1776 ran good as hell and I did not spend that much. Not going to say their names but both guys are good engine builders he was paying for the name. love the video and the tips
@VWJawbreaker Күн бұрын
I agree with you. Sometimes though it can be luck of the draw with builders. We’re all human and I’ve seen well known builders make costly mistakes. They want to cut corners or rush things. Sometimes the new parts don’t last as long as the old parts. Things happen both ways. Hell, I’ve made plenty of mistakes as well. We all do.

I'm confused - how do you make a stock stroke 69mm stroke cast crank modified to 74mm if its cast crank? I've heard of welding stock steel cranks. But never welding a cast crank? Also, any reason for running HD springs on a stock cam?
@VWJawbreaker 3 күн бұрын
Probably by machining it however they do. Kinda like regrinding a stock cam into a w110 style. No reason to run HD springs other than to help control valve float and single hd springs are inexpensive. Plus aftermarket heads usually come with them or stronger.
@mathewboyd3746 3 күн бұрын
@VWJawbreaker I know how stock steel German cranks are made into 74mm cranks by welding and regrinding with more offset. However, a cast crank is more risky to do this with even for a engine that will only do stock rpm. Are sure the original it'nt not a steel Greman crank before being welded and reground?

Distributor drive gear shims: check it before you assemble the case with the distributor installed. Too much play will bounce your timing around. I don't remember the clearance, but 3 shims is not uncommon.

Before sanding the cam bearing, smack both ends of the cam with a dead blow hammer. The thrust surface can be slightly conical, and will flatten out. If you sand the clearance, the bearing will flatten out under use and then you have too much clearance.
