love how you just have chips all over your crank shaft assembly, lol

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

This is just mock up. Everything gets a good final cleaning.

[@triariicat8448]

@@pistonrodsanddadbods8927 yeah, but why not take it out and then blow out all the chips before testing if the case has been properly clearanced?

[@VWRICH23]

Nice easy to follow instructions.. Great vid ✌

[@bubot17]

this is a big help

[@vwcarshows3408]

Very good info 👍

Thanks and thanks for subscribing, it means a lot to us.

Nice video

[@jeffsmith673]

Great video! I’m looking into doing something similar and this info is very helpful. Any updates?

[@aircooledfriends2948]

So it will be a almost square motor? Would be interesting to see if an 1835 makes the same power.

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

I when funds allow we would love to build a identical 1835 and Dyno both to put the argument to rest once and for all.

Should the cylinder jug be clearanced also where it sits in the case?

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

Yes. Stroker piston kits have a shorter cylinder base that slips in the case. If you are using a non stroker cylinder and have a long enough stroke. Then you may have to clearance the cylinder base area.

Is This a 2.0L ? I'm trying to bring one back to life with a 2.0 the original stroker spun a bearing cracked case on oil gaily. Has scat crank big jugs and long rods. I thank you for this vid I'm going to give it Hell!

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

This motor is going to be an 1800 as it has stock bore. If it was a 94mm bore then it would be a 2.2L. Glad you found the video useful and sorry for such a late reply.

What you thought on 84 mm stroker

[@vintage76vipergreenBeetle]

👍

[@jf2317]

Que virabrequim é esse? Parabéns pelo vídeo.👍

[@jacirleisilvabatista2777]

80 mm com colo vw

[@edgarpulido7174]

Which cigueñal you used? I would like to know

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

This one was an AA 80mm 4140 chromoly crank with VW journals. At the time I bought it, it was one of the cheapest.

[@harryloibl5183]

What is your thoughts on 82 stroker in a original case thanks

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

With aftermarket rods it will fit well with some clearancing of the case. With stock rods you will be real close to making windows in the case.

[@brianfarrington3174]

Great video but with the nose drip and camera shaking I'd say spend the Hundred on parts next time

[@tonygreen3528]

Hopefully I won’t have to clearance the case with a 76 counter balance crank with original vw rods,

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

With stock rods it will be close. With aftermarket rods it should clear just fine.

[@teddlovell367]

How long is the stroke?

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

The crank is an 80mm stroke with vw rod journals.

[@DonziGT230]

15:13 The case appears to be cracked just past the low spot; or is that an illusion?

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

No cracks just the way the light hits the casting and crappy camera.

[@larrybrinley8222]

85.5 x 80 ? How is it running today?

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

It is awaiting it's time to be installed. Built it for a friend and he is getting his garage redone. So when it is in I will make a review of how it is performing.

[@derlissi9754]

you have a cold. It sounds like your nose is running

[@timearll266]

Sadly I had to stop watching, otherwise it looks legit.

[@robgamber2607]

Great video but this guy need a tissues or go blow your nose. 🤧

[@bugsmedaily9813]

Doesn't look too hard to do.

[@pistonrodsanddadbods8927]

It's just time consuming, give it a try some time.

A long ass video of you doing absolutely nothing besides talking
