another pic of the worst bearing F-ed up bearing. Also this bearing is too small to even make good contact with the crank... AMAZING it came out of the package this way!

tonight cleaning bolts , H/W and intake manifolds......

I had several intakes to choose from, but decided I'm am running the short manifolds and the larger opening for the weber 44.

This thing is going to breath! 6k should be pulling good with the Raby web cam 9530.

Else, I can put the 40 IDFs and the longer intakes and try for some torque. I wish I had access to a dyno for tuning..guess it will be seat of the pants or how white my wife's knuckles turn?

Latest setbacks include:

Defective Main bearing set Silverline
Wrong size main bearing set Std ,.010 and my crank is .010/.010 (my bad I went by the build sheet and did not measure)
Wrong type of main bearing set (type 1)received
Cheep replacement crank shaft distributor gear, key cut too shallow (damaged installing)
Damaged Crank gear ( when removing)

The new bearings were measured and cleaned up. I indexed for installation, and crank gear and distributor gear installed. I placed in prepped case half and everything spins fine. I placed the camshaft in and aligned the timing marks. Looking good. Turn the crank shaft and the cam pops our of bearings. DOH! Seem the gear had a few teeth that were damaged on removal and would not mesh well with the new cam gear. SO...I found a used set of gears and took the old ones off the crank (AGAIN).
The replacements are here and installed on the crank.
Time to assemble the 2 case halves....with pics and video

@Tdskip This is my first Type 4 /VW engine build.(I was a Master Mechanic if a former life) but did drivability and diagnostic work most of the time. I am surprised how EZ the assembly went last night for a first timer. I enjoy the video documentary too, so others can learn from my Mistakes and Successes.

Best Regards
-Robert

Well...you could always glue some strain gauges onto the axles and use two of these wireless amps/transmitters...

http://www.izzeracing.com/ewExternalFiles/...2_Datasheet.pdf

Of course you'd need something to save the CAN bus data and some other engine parameters.


***I have the same thought all of the time; lack of dyno access and with newer sensors coming out with better packages it seems like in not too long the average person may be able to do some level of more educated "street" tuning.

@jd74914 I have a data logger with my O2 sensor that will do analog...I will have to think on this..First get the RPM data logger working and explore from there...

It's a little out there, but I feel that technology like this when a bit more mature is going to change parts of the hobbyist tuning industry.

Hi World,


I added the shims to my 2056 I took out of the engine to get a base line. Same crank and shims but new bearings. So cleaned the shims and installed new Flywheel WO seal and clean shims.


tight or just right? Do I hose the lube out with brake clean( dry bearing)?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiM03KJbUhk



This does not look right...Thanks for the feed back Mark Henry, and Ian Karr. I now have the familiar clunk when moving the crank...see new video for details


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdgSpxFqe9s


I now get .004 endplay with not prying and I think it is a little assembly lube still on the crank/thrust, So I think i am now in the Sweet Spot! Woohoo


-Best

Robert

Deck height measurements and compression ratio calculation .037 and 9.1 compression. I will measure the valve to piston clearance once I set my push rod length

Installed the pistons and cylinders tonight. The rings I fitted prior and was uneventful

top ring=025
second ring (dot) = 015
oil control=015

Clocked and numbered each and started the piston pins retainers to keep thing going. Only one was the wrong side and had to swap (or piston upside down?) NOPE!

Heated the small end with a heat gun and 10 mins for the pin in the freezer make the pins slide in EZ

Add new valve train studs tonight and getting the swivel foot rockers on for cylinder one!
More to come
I used the Bridgeport and the adapter in pic to compress the double springs (EZ) a drill press would work here too

and test springs added
The test seings are from the rocker shaft
One spring is a little light, so I added 2 springs to the Intake valve for testing (working pretty good). I do the final with one of the valve springs in place
