go with the type 4 the darker the better Sir bugs the sprayman president NWHWA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Bona" <chillz1@angelfire.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 01:13 PM Subject: [T3] need advice on engine rebuild > Here I am looking at my shop floor. What I see is a 1700 type IV engine and a stock dual port type 3 engine. The type 3 engine is garbage due to a cracked case and the type 4 would need new rings, etc. I've been wanting to go the type 4 route for ages, but the more I look at it, I would much rather retain the stock engine due to numerous problems with carbs, clutch/flywheel. I need advice on how to build as bulletproof a type 3 engine as possible. It will be of stock displacement with no "hop-ups" but I need it to last a good long time and be able to travel on long trips (1-2000 miles) worry-free. I've already contemplated the ideas of full-flow and counterweighted cranks, but if any of you have any advice on case, p/c's, heads etc. I'd be very grateful. > Thanks > Marc > > > Get 250 color business cards for FREE! > http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Search old messages on the Web!
