Big Bore Parts ID - Need Help Options

[Sailor]

I have an older 2.5L four that I have partially diassembled in order to identify the major internal components. The PO had the motor build in the early 90's by a well respected shop in Auburn, WA. Unfortunely he could not remember all the spec's and parts that were used and the shop no longer has records from that time period. I'm thinking of selling this motor and am curious as to the quality/value of the parts. So here is what I think I know:

103 mm bore, cast iron cylinders, KB pistons,
75mm stroke (approx measure),
heads have been modified with larger valves, 48mm intake, 37mm exhaust (approx measure), dual Weber 40 IDFs, 009 distibutor

I am looking for help on identifying the rods, crank, and cam. Is there a way to do it without splitting the case?

Thanks

The numbers on the cam between the lobe will have no use unless it's a stock VW cam. If the cam gear is on with rivits then it's a stock cam. Check the lifters to see if it has circlips on the inside, if they do then from that era they would be hydraulic and basically worthless.

The piston circlips are spiral-loc, dig an end out, grab it with needle nose pliers and turn them out like a cork screw. Don't stretch them much, but really they are meant to be a one time use only clip. You can still get new clips.
