Frank Jr, AKA BAD TUB.....
So last night got the VW Type I, 2.2 turbo charged and fuel injected motor in last night. Fired it up and it seized after 5 seconds. CRAP.... Let it and my temper cool over night..... Next day, pulled the plugs, pulled the oil drain.....no shavings.....cranked and rest, crank and rest....put the plugs back in and it went V R O O O OM...... Clacking on passenger side....pulled valve covers and the valves look WAY loose....engine is warm....what numbers should I use? Been awhile since I did a Type I.....any suggestions? |

Mike:
The type I engines were factory spec at .004 inlet and .006 exhaust. That was without the 911 type elephant feet on the rockers. The turbo engines we used to build liked a bit more clearance, as the inlet mix was hotter. Try .006 in and .007 ex, and check when it's warmed up. You should have a little smidge of clearance when it's hot. You already know ticking is good, and quiet is bad... Pat |

Put a fan on it for 1/2 hour.....was cool to the touch...adjusted them all the same @ .006 and it runs MUCH smoother. If I don't blow the MOFO up in the next 50-75 miles I'll do the valves again....

Here ya go....I actually purchased and planned on installing a RootWerks bell crank linkage, but when Manfred sold I forgot about it in my tool box.
The boogie rigged link worked pretty well.....standard 914/4 throttle cable with a welded bracket mounted to the coil bracket.....ain't pretty but funtional. Attached image(s)
