Follow me along as I venture into type 4 hell as a newbie to VW's!
This thread will show how a V8 guy does a 4 cylinder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Okay guys, pulled the engine out last weekend, and today project was disassembling it. I knew it had a knock, and it was super oily, but found out that it had gotten worse that I thought, and had actualy spun a bearing, with another connecting rod getting close to it. Damage report: -The crank is a little tweeked, and should be able to be ground to get rid of any evidence of the connecting rod slamming down upon the journal. -1 cylinder has been scored terribly with 1-2 mm scratches in it. I'm hoping that the KB oversized pistons are big enough to compensate for the scoring to be taken out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) -lots of tiny bits of bearing EVERYWHERE! The good: -valve train is in good condition -cases have NO marring on them -cam looks good -connecting rods are perfect Other than that, it's just goint to be money to get new parts and take the crank in to be ground and possibly rebalanced and tweeked back to alignment. And now for some pictures.......

a 1911 would really be a great fun engine, short stroke/big bore high rev motor.
if your going to go carbs raby would have a really good cam set up that would make a screamer motor. i think he had some kind of kit or concept of a 1911 that made really good power. and pretty cheap to. |
