Type 4 engine build...

Does anyone ever need a coffee table? No, but we'll use it as a fire side table in the garden

 

Shame. It may have lived again.

 

Honestly, its FUBAR

 

Swap ya for some riviera bits?

 

So, after receiving the wrong bearings from VWH the correct ones arrived today. So I've just dropped these off with Phoenix who have cleaned the heads, crank, rods etc. Now they have the bearings they can push the main back on with the timing gear etc. Should be able to collect those tomorrow night and crack on with it.

 

You can do the timing gear in your kitchen dude!!

 

Have you had the crank static and dynamic balanced? It's something I've been pondering on my build. Is it worth having done?

 

It depends on what you're doing with the engine... if it's staying stock, then generally they are balanced quite nicely, but if you're building a hypo motor, then it's always something that must be done

 

Would a 2056 need it? If I go that route.

 

Mild, then no.... anything above stock revs, then yes

 

Closing this for now, i'll document with photos as I go and will do a single write up later
