Verdomme, jij bent lekker bezig!

I'm not a huge beetle fan, but i'd drive the hell out of this one!

Dankje

Pulling this thread out of the dust!

Got some progress on my engine build Watch and enjoy


Collected some 36 IDF Webers incl. manifolds


New piston and liners (88mm)... going for 1679cc's


Checking deckheight.. ended up with 1.4mm. Combustionchambers are 47cc's wich equals 8.6:1 CR


Bringing the pistons to the same weight


Light flywheel (5.3kg)


Webers were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath


Plugged some oilchannels for full flow


Assembled everything! Shortblock is almost done!

Stay tuned
