Yes they are not forged, but are hypereuthetic. Cast only are of a lower grade, the next best is hyper then you have forged. For a street driven mild performance normally aspirated engine, the hypers are all you need. For high rpm, high power and boosted applications then forged is the way to...

My £0.01😊 Autolinea cases as Sparkywig and Karlos said, better not use them as there are too many issues with quality control and they require a considerable amount of time to make them work well. They are heavier, engine will run hotter as well, so unless i am building a horse power monster...

Gary, i will call you tomorrow, thanks😃👍 Abel

Thanks Sparky, will give them a call😃👍

Hi all, I am looking for a stock front beam for my 69 ideally drum to drum but let me what you have. Thanks Abel😃

I have a pair of original 36 Dell’s fully refurbed ready to be used for £450 no offers. Pm if interested. Abel

I also agree with most of Clem's post. In my case, not having my Bus ready yet prevents me from joining you guys on the nice EB shows😭, but i will get there soon😁 I use my T4 lately to go to VW shows, i always enjoy the Drag racing of Buses and Beetles, that is so much fun! But having a soft...

I agree with all that Karlos said, a 1904/1955/2007 stroker when built properly, can be ultra reliable and pretty much maintenance free without costing half of a Subaru conversion. I also agree that doing a Subaru conversion kinds of spoils the great feeling of having one of these Buses, but...

I am so sorry about your loss, please accept my condolences😭 I am offering any mechanical advice you need(whatever i know)at any time as many times you need, so please do not hesitate to ask. I can give you my number if you want and we can chat through whatsapp, i normally answer very quickly...

Glad you found a nice workshop mate👌 Bus is looking great👏 Abel

I wish my Bus was ready😭😭😭 Well, at least the welding is done, so next year for sure i will be joining you guys on shows🕺🕺😜 Abel

I would strip and clean if i was you. Loads of work to install and then find out they don’t run right. It won’t take long and is good insurance imho.😊 Now regarding the jetting, i can say it’s quite close, but every engine is different, even with the same displacement. Things like compression...

X3 for John Walklett😃👍 Abel

If it’s a new case, they come with no numbers. Look for Brazil written at the underneath of the pushrod area, that will confirm a new gen VW case was used. Abel

The Elring white seal will stretch and can be used on the larger part of the tube, i use them on these types too with great success😃👍 Abel

Hi Darren😃 I normally use the Elring white seals with a little Curil T and they work great😉 There are cases in which there’s extra casting flesh on a few aftermarket heads that interferes with some of the pushrod tubes, namely the spring loaded ones as they have a larger OD. I check that by...

If your Webers are ICT’s, they like 2.5psi, but 3 should work. With IDF’s between 3-3.5psi works great😃 Abel

Float level😃 But check fuel pressure and flow first, could be a blocked filter or line😉 Abel🤓

If the Early Bayers are willing to travel a bit, there’s the only place i recommend with my eyes closed; AB Garage in Hawarden, near Airbus😃 Adrian is an old school bloke that knows his way around carbs and ACVW’s, so no nonsense of checking emissions as such😒, but properly tuning with an AFR...

On the single thrust bearings, they come most of the times ready to be used. On the dual thrust though, i have had to always adjust them. The way i do, i adjust one thrust bearing at the time until the cam spins free on both sides of the case, then i torque the cases together with the cam and...
