OK, we have recently hashed out head gaskets, Pistons, rods, and bearings.
A while a go it was oil pumps. So what about a fresh build discussion. I plan on building a decent 2.0 based street engine. Goals are decent power, longevity and drivability. Think fun reliable touring with an occasional autocross. (Kind of what a factory 2.0 was good for, but with a little more kick in the pants.) AND reasonable price (Yes, that is always open to interpretation) What is recommended displacement? Bore and Stroke? What pistons, rods and cylinders? What compression? What cam? Guessing micro squirt or tuned up D-Jet. What "tricks" are worth while for a few HP and/or drivability, longevity, etc. What "tricks" are not worth while (or worst yet help one direction and hurt another) How much worse would it be to start with a 1.8 base? (Heads, etc.) |

What are the current recommendations on bearings? I believe I have some NOS VW main & cam bearings, but need 2.0 rod bearings. Is it typical these days to use two cam bearing sets to have full thrust bearing set? Are there bearing brands to look for or to avoid? What about recommended vendors?
I will also need to get a gasket set and the usual ancillary parts. Are new rod bolts & nuts typically used? |
