Okrasa 36 hp motor build // Case prep and mock up. PART ONE

[@VWJawbreaker]

People don’t understand how much time it takes to properly build an engine. But that’s the difference between an engine lasting and one failing. Appreciate the shout out my friend!

@@VWJawbreaker Dam right I spent 4 hours porting one head alone 🤦‍♂️😳😂

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@DemopVWgarage oh I get it! I spent a full day with VW Darrin getting the heads sorted out for the 1760 build.

​@@DemopVWgarage. Did you have to have any special clearancing for the 356 cam to fit the case ? Many thanks Jon

I'm thinking "This is precision". Then things went bad but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes.

[@DemopVWgarage]

@@dalewyatt1321 thats it, it worked out fine just changed out the gear and all went in smooth. Test fit 20 times before final assembly 😉👍🏽

Is the 36hp the power of the finished motor or the factory spec rating❤

[@DemopVWgarage]

Og was 36hp from the little motor, this one will be close to 90hp but at a crazy cost ;)
