Description:
To have your single carb'd turnkey VW type 4 engine built by us, you must supply the following:
  • A clean engine. Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be rebuilt
  • Bring the engine, minus the clutch and pressure plate (unless you'll want it balanced with the flywheel).
    The engine must have:
    • The drain plate on the bottom
    • The flywheel on the back
    • The pulley/fan & housing REMOVED FROM the front
    • The alternator & bracket REMOVED
    • Drain the oil. Bring with no oil in it
    • The exhaust off the engine
    • Bring a deposit of $1000
  • $3200 for labor only, with parts, machine work*, and any related shipping being extra.
I will tear it down to the bare block & inspect the block, crank journals & rods.
If the rods need rebuilt, they'll get sent out for: rebushing, end to end balancing & mate balancing & new nuts.
If the block needs align boring it'll get sent out for that & new main bearings with the rear main cut to fit.
If the crank needs work of any kind, it will get sent out for that & balanced.
The crank gear 'set' will be reused unless damaged from a 'blow up'.
The block will be cleaned in our solvent tank, rinsed with Super Clean & water then blown dry with compressed air.
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.
The end play will be set using new shims if necessary.
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 NOT be cleaned other than a rinse in the solvent tank). If a head leaks or is cracked, BOTH OF the heads will get sent out for rebuild.
I'll install new pushrod tube 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.
The rest of the engine will be reassembled as it was taken apart.
