build or rebuild your non stroker long block type 1 from the main bearings out
Part number:
ylb1
Your cost:
$1,000.00
Description:
To have your type 1 VW long block built from the main bearings out by us, you must supply the following (unless we're building it all new for you):
$1000 for labor only, with parts, machine work*, and any related shipping being extra. $200 MORE for labor only, if your block has 10mm head studs and 94mm cylinders (for clearancing)
I will tear it down to the bare block & inspect the block, crank journals & rods.
If the rods need rebuilt, they'll likely be replaced with new.
If the crank needs work of any kind, it will most likely get replaced. This of course depends upon the crank.
The crank gear 'set' will be reused unless damaged from a 'blow up'.
The block will be steam cleaned, then blown dry with compressed air, then inspected. If the block needs align boring it'll get sent out for that & new main bearings with the rear main cut to fit.
The flywheel will be cleaned in our solvent tank & media blasted.
All new bearings go inside for the crank & rods & cam.
The cam will be inspected for pits or other wear as well as the lifters. If ANY pitting or wear is present, you will get a new cam & lifters. If you have a rivet on gear, you'll get a bolt on gear for this build, if the cam is to be replaced.
The end play will be set using new shims if necessary.
The gland nut & washer will be replaced with a new one.
The oil pump will get inspected for pitting or wear. If any is found you'll get a new oil pump.
The pressure relief spring & plunger kit will be replaced with new.
I'll install a new piston & cylinder kit with Total Seal Gapless 2nd rings.
I'll inspect & possibly reuse your heads (they will be steam cleaned only). If they leak or are cracked you'll get new heads. This of course depends on the 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.
A new engine gasket kit will be used & you'll get the left over gaskets & seals.
*Machine Work meaning:
- A clean long block. Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be rebuilt. If you're going to ship it, NEVER use styrofoam packing or bedding or such items - only paper and cardboard packing AND ALWAYS use boxes or lumber designed for the weight. Triple boxing or crating for long blocks.
- A $600 deposit.
- Bring or ship the long block, which consists of:
- The drain plate on the bottom
- The flywheel on the back (no press plate or clutch disc)
- No pulley or pulley tin on the front
- No shrouding or tin or exhaust
- Nothing on top
- Drain the oil. Bring or ship with no oil in it
- Remove the 2 lower mounting studs and pack loose in the box
