will a type 4 vanagon crank slip into a type 4 914 case?
will a 2.0 crank fit into a 1.7 case with out machining ? will a 200 mm flywheel and pressure plate that is made to fit type 4 crank work okay with 1.7 thru 2.0 ? will 215mm flywheel from bus be okay with 914 transmission ? bus crank has pilot bearing in shaft 914 has in flywheel how do i go about using bus crank in 914 engine thank you ! |

No, bus 215mm (75 bus) flywheel has different offset for bellhousing and starter,same clutch disk. change the bearing to fit in the flywheel,the 914 g/box has a shorter input shaft so I seem to remember you can leave the pilot in the bus crank without issue...some may comment,no problem. Be aware that if you use old bus parts you have to expect more wear than parts used in the 914 because of the weight of the bus. Mixing and matching parts just makes things harder than it needs to be. |

Is this going into a bus, bug or a 914?
-914 trans must have a 914 flywheel. -for a bug (type 1) trans with a T4 bus flywheel you have to make the pilot hole the same size as a pilot bearing OD. You also need the crank spacer from a 914 crank. The easy route is you can buy a new type one 200mm conversion flywheel from AA. Best to find a good 1.7/1,8 case as they likely don't need a line bore. 2.0 Bus crank and rods can be used with 2.0 pistons. |

You might see if the people at Chirco can recommend Tucson machine shop.

You could always send it to European motor works in CA. They’re pros with these type 4 cases and super reasonable...

Already did. That is why I am here. Chirco wanted a huge slice of that pie. I can get the job done through another builder for between 100 and 125. but cant get the name of the guy who comes to tucson once a month to pick up the cases and does the work. everybody has there hand in it. I have a couple hand fulls of type 4 engines about 20. If i find this guy we both be happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

You might give Dan a call at CEVW in Phoenix. He’s been rebuilding these for over 30 years and has a very good machinist.

Try contacting the Jesco Reient (John). He built cutting fixtures to align-bore cases and has done quite a lot.
