Don't shortchange yourself.
Having a windage tray is CRITICAL to all engines except stationary ones. I purchased an early 2.0L core engine from 914sixer. GA003773 It has all of the later "upgrades" and the thicker cylinder bases. If you have a solution for a windage tray, Great! The VW one is crude. A good windage tray will have one direction trap doors to "lock in" an amount of oil around the pickup. The thicker cylinder registers improve reliability. The windage tray both improves reliability AND increases power (especially in high G turns). I'd bet Raby has designed his own windage tray. I'd expect 2 to 4 little, tiny doors in it... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) GA blocks do not have the full thickness under the cylinder registers like the early “W” blocks have. There is a recess in the GA and other cases whereas the “W” cases are full thickness (no recess), making them more desirable. |
