Joe-
When you bump the cylinders out that far, do you run into issues with the cylinders coming far enough out of the registers that they can move around radially in the registers? An engine I have been planning for a bit needs ~1/2 spacers if I run a certain combo and I seem to recall the area of the cylinder that mates into the block either having a taper or a step such that if I do pull them out that distance, they can move around. Maybe your cyls don't have this issue. Hopefully that question makes sense. -Chris |

Are you using the stock head studs? Are they long enough to work? Did you need to make any modifications to the waterboxer rods to get them to fit into the 2.0 crank (if you are using that) . . . how about on the piston side?
It is looking good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

1.9 or 2.1 rods? We in the Vanagon community have seen a LOT of 2.1 big end failures. In fact, I cancelled plans to make my own Vanagon a 2.1. The Cap'n

Type I big end with some sort of ARP "like" bolts. Type IV little end. Crank is modded for Type I journals.
Head bolts should be OK length wise won't know till I get the base shims. Got stuck putting Ohlins on an Audi A4 today along with bigger sway bars and seriuos ly stiff springs. 1200lb on the rear GEEZ that car is heavy. |

what did the journal welding cost? dude. this is gonna be a sick motor! Crank was sourced from the mad man in Georgia. it's listed in his store. Also got the intermediate balance. and it is really sweet. Yea Paul lets just hope I got the skills to make use of them properly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Won't be a success till the car sits on the podium at a national event |

Piston dome is 8cc
Used Playdough. easy as can be. .172 sticking out + .040 negative deck makes for blanchard ground shim .212 equals static compression of 10.2:1 Tonight I am doing the end play and order all my shims at once. got a mock up 2.0L head to do push rod length one shims and stuff get here. |

I don't do financing. and it won't be cheap.
I might have spelled it wrong but it is the proccess Jake uses to machine or grind the shim perfect. |
