| Part number: | rods out single 1 |
| Your cost: | $450.00 |
| Description: | To have your VW turnkey engine with a single carb built by us, from the rod bearings out, you must supply the following:
I'll install a new piston & cylinder kit with Total Seal Gapless 2nd rings. I'll inspect & possibly reuse your heads (they will NOT be cleaned other than a rinse in the solvent tank). If they leak or are cracked you'll get new heads. I'll install new pushrod tubes & seals. I'll clean & blow out the pushrods. I'll inspect & reinstall your valve train at the correct lash & install the valve covers. Of course any gaskets encountered in the process will be replaced with new. The rest of the engine will be reassembled as it was taken apart. $250 extra if you want the engine fired up and broke-in on our test car upon completion. YOU BRING 4 GALS OF FUEL. 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. |
