[T3] First one???
<x-flowed>Hello all-
We have been busy here in rainy ol Portland..
And have come up with something not yet seen on the West coast.
We have been building motors for a few customers here (1776 and a 1915), but
our supplier no longer carries the new VW cases. We have switched to the
Autolina all aluminum cases.
We have contact a few very respectable machine shop's and builders here on
the west coast, to find that no one has yet built a Type3 based motor using
the new Case....So I was wondering if any of you had? And if so what did you
build?
We had had a few small hick-ups that we car working to resolve...
The main issue we encounter is the stud in the case that the oil filter
attaches to, in the new case it is a 8mm stud, the VW oil cooler is a 6mm
hole. There were a few step studs floating around but low and behold they
are not long enough to work.
We had thought about re-drilling the oil cooler to accept the large stud,
but that was scrapped as the cooler may not seal correctly.
The fix is this ...we have found a small 6mm insert [heli-coil type] that
will be inserted into the case and then the stock 6mm stud can be used.
I wanted to pass this along incase any of you were thinking about using this
case.
thanks-
