I figured this group might enjoy seeing my Christmas present to myself. These are for my 72 VW bus. They cost more THAN my bus. LOL.....I did not opt for the Ceramic coating. But as stated these are Camper Specials, New 1.8 AMC castings, Type4store's 2 liter sized SS valves, springs, keepers, etc... modified ports, proprietary valve seats that you can see are inserted deeper, plus a notch for an under plug CHT thermocouple.
Still to come is a Type4store 9590 cam kit with cut to fit Chromoly push rods, solid lifters, swivel foot adjusters, I forget what else. Merry Christmas to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Len won't rebuild old castings! These are new AMC 1.8L heads that he rebuilds. I am running a set in my 77 Westy, definately the way to go to run cooler with the 9590 cam setup too. The 100+ hp in a bus is really nice too.

I bought some rings but the bottom ring assembly was 4mm thick. too big for the 3mm trough. Sent them back and suggested that they stop selling them as suitable for 93mm type 4 pistons. |

I am running AA 914 94mm USA style with the small dish. CR is 7.5 to 1. Head temps are great and it has 50,000 miles on it now. Why run the 1.8 stuff as the extra torque is a must in a bus! Go 2.0l ! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is exactly what I'd run in a bus, I wouldn't use the 96mm, you need the thicker wall cylinders. No replacement for displacement, that's what the 71mm crank and rods give you, but you also need the parts to be robust for high loads you can pack into a bus. Put a full skid of flooring into your bus, plus a trailer with just as much weight and then start pulling some good grades, your engine will be much happier with the 94's. Back in the 90's I would vacation in Florida plus make 2-3 trips to the US on summer holidays, everytime I would take my 12' car trailer and always come back with a bug on the back plus a load of car parts. My bus ran like a champ everytime. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-26-1222565915.jpg) |

I have decided to go with this advice. THanks guys. 96mm are so tempting tho. I have had a couple members offer some good OEM stuff, 96s included. But with the above recommendation and a bit of research it looks like the 94mm P/C are best for the bus. OEM 2 liter is in my future. |
