I'd like to see where the $$$ are spent for a Type IV rebuild. Looking for a complete price break down listing of each of the individual parts (or group of parts, ie. pistons) , machining, labor (if necessary), etc...
Someone has to have done a complete listing of costs during their rebuild. But I've never seen one on this site. |

The variables between engines will make a thread like this, with such definitive points being asked virtually impossible to respond to.
Every engine is worn differently and these days you'll spend time and moeny "un-fucking"what others have done to the engine in it's previous lives. Remember the old saying- if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. Often times budgets are the creators of compromise and that can lead to total failure- no matter what engine you are working with. |

Thinking this is "Just a Volkswagen Motor" is the first mistake that many people make. I solve the problems that are created by this mindset everyday for people all around the World. |

I solve the problems that are created by this mindset everyday for people all around the World. It is "just a volkswagen motor" though. The type IV has many inherent design flaws, and if it weren't required by many racing associations it would have been put to pasture long ago. The type IV has nothing close to the level of development and aftermarket support of the Type I. My 914 has a type IV engine in it solely because the PCA requires I run a porsche engine and transmission, and a six is simply too damn heavy. |
