If VW made a flat 8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Brazilian Flat 8 I know, not a Type IV, I would think it would be close enough to a Type I to be done the same way? |

Before you cut: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Leave excess material for finishing weld prep on both sides of crankcase. Prepare hollow steel shafts to locate both cam and crankshaft bores +.0005/-0.0002",longitudinal spacing can be accomplished by using case thru-bolts or cylinder spigots. This Type 1 case has been cut through the lifter bores,not good. The type 4 case must be cut to avoid critical areas and to facilitate ease of welding. The Corvair case has symmetrical attributes and a flat milled open top that allows reinforcement plates or a cam carrier to be attached. A great deal of thought and mapping must be done to attempt a +/-0.003 weldment,preheating and inert gas atmosphere enclosure to ensure top quality welds and alignment. An adventure in engine building,not mere assembly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
