build or rebuild your turnkey engine (single carb) type 1 from the rod bearings out

Part number:
rods out single 1
Your cost:
$1,400.00
Description:
To have your VW turnkey engine with a single carb built by us, from the rod bearings out, you must supply the following:
  • A clean turnkey engine. Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be rebuilt.
  • Bring the turnkey engine, without:
    • The oil in it - drain it all out first
  • $1400 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)
  • Bring a deposit of $1000
I will tear it down to the rod bearings, replace the rod bearings, inspect & possibly reuse the rods. If the rods need rebuilt, they'll get sent out for: rebushing, end to end balancing & mate balancing & new nuts.
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.

$400 extra if you want the engine fired up and broke-in on our test bench upon completion. YOU BRING 4 GALS OF FUEL. During the first run in process, which is 1/2 hour= seat the rings & check for leaks. At the end of the 1/2 hour I set the low end timing, jetting (when necessary), 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 (when necessary), 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 given it any throttle movement. Now I'm done. The engine is now ready to drive as you see fit.
