Doghouse Engines - rebuild your turnkey engine (single carb) type 1

To have your single carb'd, turnkey VW engine rebuilt by us, you must supply the following:

Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be rebuilt
Bring the engine, minus the clutch and pressure plate (unless you'll want it balanced with the flywheel).
The engine must have:
- The drain plate on the bottom
- The flywheel on the back
- The pulley on the front
- Drain the oil. Bring with no oil in it
- Bring the exhaust if you want it installed when the engine is complete, but please bring it off the engine
$875 for labor only, with parts, machine work, and any related shipping being extra.

$200 extra if you want the engine fired up and broke-in on our test car upon completion. During the first run in process, which is 1/2 hour, I burnish in the cam to the lifters, seat the rings & check for leaks. At the end of the 1/2 hour I set the low end timing, jetting, idle speed & note the idle speed oil pressure. I then drain the run in oil, remove the oil filler & valve covers to cool the engine, set the valves again when the engine is cold & replace the drain assembly after cleaning it. For the 2nd run in I take the engine through its rev range and adjust the high end jetting, check the full advance of the distributor & note the high end rev oil pressure. After that is done, I shut the engine off and let it cool for a few minutes and then restart it to see if any additional fuel is needed for a quick start, without having giving it any throttle movement. Now I'm done. The engine is now ready to drive as you see fit.
