I figured this group might enjoy seeing my Christmas present to myself. These are for my 72 VW bus. They cost more THAN my bus. LOL.....I did not opt for the Ceramic coating. But as stated these are Camper Specials, New 1.8 AMC castings, Type4store's 2 liter sized SS valves, springs, keepers, etc... modified ports, proprietary valve seats that you can see are inserted deeper, plus a notch for an under plug CHT thermocouple.
Still to come is a Type4store 9590 cam kit with cut to fit Chromoly push rods, solid lifters, swivel foot adjusters, I forget what else. Merry Christmas to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Len won't rebuild old castings! These are new AMC 1.8L heads that he rebuilds. I am running a set in my 77 Westy, definately the way to go to run cooler with the 9590 cam setup too. The 100+ hp in a bus is really nice too.

I bought some rings but the bottom ring assembly was 4mm thick. too big for the 3mm trough. Sent them back and suggested that they stop selling them as suitable for 93mm type 4 pistons. |

I am running AA 914 94mm USA style with the small dish. CR is 7.5 to 1. Head temps are great and it has 50,000 miles on it now. Why run the 1.8 stuff as the extra torque is a must in a bus! Go 2.0l ! |

Go 2.0l ! 3 choices for me.... buy 93mm rings ($50) 1756 cc or 96mm P/C ($400 non-nickies) 1911 cc or 71mm crank, 96mm p/c ($700) 2056 cc EDIT: and 2.0 rods ($300 more) Further edit: I guess I could go full 2.0 and just use 94.5mm P/C 1985 cc? I am in this deep, maybe I should go 2056? |

If you are going to the trouble of rebuilding the engine it just makes sense to go to a 2056 as its such a better engine. More hp and torque for alittle more money |
