Happy Christmas to me (although I don’t celebrate it) 😂 160 NOS Volkswagen rocker cover gaskets. Should keep me going for a while 😆

Reaching in there with a 13mm spanner isn’t that hard 🤨 besides how often do you need to disconnect the battery

It’s from Fast fab in California

Well the bus hasn’t been out of the workshop since October and not started for a month lol so I finally got round to fitting the new CSP oil filler, modifying the breather box and giving the engine bay a well deserved clean. Changed it to AN-8 threaded fittings and added an extra port for the...

This is the bar you want for ground clearance, it was an option on South African & Aussie built buses for extra clearance. Only issue is finding 1 and for sensible money 🫣 I got it cheap…. didn’t realise what I was buying and the chap didn’t realise what he was selling 🤣 some bloke crazed me...

It is for a late bay with a type 1 engine

Will be fine

Either rear main crank seal or the input shaft seal in the box

Yup has a thread in 1 head. FI heads weren’t something i specifically wanted to use but we had a good set in stock so we went with them.

They are the heads which were fitted to late 70’s fuel injected beetle engines, work as a normal head would but have Smaller inlet valves, chambers & long reach spark plugs. Carbs still work as carbs lol

quick image upload Productive week on the bugs engine 💪🏻 Spoke to big Pete at Cogbox and he’s building me something suitable based on a beetle GT swing axle box to bolt this too 😁 will be like a different car next season

Another little winter project on the go…. We built a tasty little 1600 for my girlfriends 1960 bug 😎 1600 twin port Fully balanced and blueprinted Stock crank, rods & flywheel 26mm Gene berg full flow oil pump Remote oil filter Ported 1600 fuel injection heads Old skool DDS inlet manifolds...

Stripped out egotrippin’s bus this week Let’s see what we find…

While a cut off valve is a good idea you still need to find and sort the actual cause of the issue rather than just putting a bandage on the problem.

A mild 1776 should be 90-100 horsepower. I personally prefer a full weight flywheel on a bus motor, have 1 on my 2276.

What engine is it?

My bus has some good company over winter… Steve Wragg (aka Egotrippin on here) has left his awesome patina’d 1970 kombi with me for a full engine rebuild/upgrade on his 2007cc stroker. Should leave with several more ponies once Hector & myself have had a play 😏

Were the float heights set in the carbs?

Stock vw rods are 5.4” which will be fine for a 2007 as long as you’re not looking to turn lots of rpm.

I’m no Tractor boy, my time is far to precious to waste on the pantomime re branded as football lol.
