Hey Guys,
I have a 2.0 that I am trying to put back together on a budgit. Here is what I am thinking on doing with it. It now has 96mm dished P/C and a 86A cam. I really don't want to split the case so I may just put a new set of rods and bearings, get the cylinders honed, put a new set of rings (who sells these?), replace all seals and gaskets. For the heads, mine are in need of repair so to save that $1,000.00 or so I can get some what I am told VW type IV 2.0 heads that are I guess are buss heads that have new valves, seats and guides for a fraction of the price to have my 2.0 heads reworked. The heads that were on the engine had the head gaskets installed so I may just buy some cylinder spacers the same thickness and use those and do away with the head gaskets. I will be using dual dellorto 40 carbs off of my 1.8L. My question is, with this combo how much H.P. am I leaving on the table and how do you think this combo will perform for street use? I'm not into racing just a weekend car and sometimes driving to work on nice days. Will I have any kind of heat problems using the cam that is in it now? I have read a few things about the power band being in the upper RPM range using the 86A cam. Will this cam be a problem for street use and what would be the max RPM for this combo? What kind of improvement do you think I would see compared to my stock 1.8L with the dual carbs? Randy |

I am using dellorto 40 carbs that if I remember correctly they are equal to weber 44 carbs in size.
I do have a set of weber 40 and a set of weber 44 sitting around but I find if I need to change any jetting the dellorto parts are cheaper. I think I will need to put cylinder base shims on the cylinders as I found one of the pistons sits kind of cocked in the cylinder and sticks out of the cylinder just a bit on one side so I think it would hit the head. Is this common to have a piston sit cocked in a cylinder? I wonder if flipping the rod would solve this? Well, after I finish taking it apart to check the rod bushings and find if I am going to get the new rods. Maybe the new rods will correct this cocked piston. I remember reading somewhere of someone that got a Raby kit and had a problem with a cocked piston like this. Randy |
