There seems to be very little chatter lately, so I will try to
start a conversation.
During the investigation of a oil leak on a type 1 it was discovered
that the engine had 94 mm piston and cylinders installed. Upon
further investigation a stock riveted cam was found. My topic is the
reasoning behind building such a motor. From what I understand, and I
could be wrong, the case has to be machined for the 94 mm P&C to be
installed. I just don't understand why one would build one configured
this way. Am I missing something?
And to keep the conversation offensive to everyone ( never discuss
religion, politics or bore and stroke with strangers ) what would you
build, or have built or already have for the perfect bus motor? I
will even go out on a limb and tell everyone that I had a local
builder build me a 1600 cc engine with a new Auto Lina aluminum case,
stock stroke counterweighted crank, Engle 110 cam and stock size
valve single port heads. I run a 34 pict 3 carb on a adapter plate on
a stock type 3 auto stick single port intake with large vacuum port.
( for the brake booster ) I use a stock exhaust system with heater
boxes. I have a stock dog house cooler without flaps. I installed a
Berg 1.5 quart sump, and a Berg dip stick thingy to keep an eye on
the oil temp.
