Yep, I am building a 2056. Have ordered very nearly a complete 2056 engine kit from Type IV Store (LN Engineering). Some questions (I have searched and read MANY threads)...
I have a "spare" 1976 VW Bus short block (no cyl. heads). Assume this will work for a starting point? Issues with oil dipstick? The bus was an automatic so I assume once I remove the "flex plate" that the flywheel from by 914 engine (in car) will bolt up to the crank without issues? Any issues with engine carrier? The bus used a "moustache bar" for mounting to the frame and I am hoping that the cases from the bus/914 are the same for engine mounting? Will re-use existing Crank/rods New crank/rod bearings Will re-use existing cylinders (overbored) KB 96 mm flat topped pistons with Hastings rings Webcam cam (9130 kit from Type IV Store) Type IV Store pushrods, pushrod ends, parkerized lifters, rocker shafts Type IV Store cam bearings Re-use rockers from bus engine? Not sure about this... HAM (Len Hoffman) RS+ spec cylinder heads New Oil pump from Type IV Store New clutch & pressure plate. Re-use flywheel from 914 engine (in the car) Dellorto Dual 40mm carbs, CB Perf manifolds & linkage SSI heat exchangers & Bursch exhaust New fuel pump - will run return lines (have CFR SS Lines in car now and will re-use) Not sure what dizzy to run? I believe I need to check/verify deck height and valve clearance (I know how, just not positive this is required for a 2056 build). I have read a few threads about "setting" compression ration, but do not understand it yet? Anyone have a compression ratio for dummies guide? Anything else I'm missing? Progress so far...  |

Are you sure about the size of your chambers? When I did mine they were in the 59cc range. Did you do the whole clear plastic disc and burette thing. It's been a while since I did mine but I had to use spacers that I ordered from aircooled.net under the cylinders. I ended up with 9.5 : 1 compression and it runs fine on regular fuel.
