Hello from Colombia, in your experience, an aluminum block or an AS 41 magnesium block is necessary for a stroker engine? Did you ever see that the block bench bearings are oversized in only 800 km of use?

[@DragRacingTV]

Both types of block materials have been used successfully for stroker motors. If the crank bearings are pounded out after only 800km of use, and they fit perfectly when the engine was assembled, it sounds like something else is wrong, I would not blame that on the block.

QUESTION PLEASE /? if and i say if i had to little play with the cam thrust bearing and needed to take say 1thousands out is there a place where i can scotch brite or sand it out ? to get the tolerance needed ? thanks

What is the max to line bore a case 1600 Ive got 16 cases 40 hp and up single port and dual 850 324 1283 infla northwest

[@DragRacingTV]

I'd start thinning the herd by checking for cracks, fretting, wear in the lifter bores, use that paper slip test between the case halves, etc., then take what's left over to a reputable vw machine shop, let them tell you what each case needs, it's going to be situational.

[@kevinstewart8]

I'm the guy with end play like that example :( hopefully thrustcut/line bore will fix..

[@DragRacingTV]

Be sure and check the case for cracks and such before taking it to the machine shop.

@@DragRacingTV will do, thank you
