Hey Neil- > well ccd my heads today only quick mind 2ltr sqr port heads came out at 56 > ml i think i am correct in saying ml is the same as cc yea i only had a 5 ml > syringe you see. Yup, ml=cc. Sounds like you have a similar "expensive" head cc tool, just like mine... mine consists of a freebie CD I got in the mail cut by tinsnips until it fit into the head with a little vaseline on the periphery of the underside and a 5ml syringe I got free at the local drug store that I fill with motor oil and put into the hole in the middle of the CD :-) But, hey, it works! > the piston dish on the bus pistons was 11 ml. Wow, that's a big dish... Here's some numbers for ya: 56cc head, 11cc dish, 94.5mm bore, 71mm stroke, 0.035" (0.90mm) deck - 7.80:1 56cc head, 0cc dish, 94mm bore, 71mm stroke, 0.035" (0.90mm) deck - 8.93:1 56cc head, 0cc dish, 94mm bore, 71mm stroke, 0.060" (1.53mm) deck - 8.40:1 56cc head, 5cc dish (for valve pockets...), 94mm bore, 71mm stroke, 0.035" (0.90mm) deck - 8.34:1 If you want over 9:1 (which my humble personal opinion thinks is a little too high for that head/cyl seal to last...), you're going to have to think of something else... :-( > as per the later vw tecnical bullitin i shall not be running the head > gasket copper ring things Exactly - ditch the non-functioning seal and the paper thing on the bottom and replace with RTV and a shim... > and will be grinding my cylinders in a la t3 style What do you mean by this? > i got some spare vales that im gonna weld cutting edgs on and cut some > small valve pockets if i need to in the top of the pistons this will more > than likely be the case! Sounds like fun! Are the crowns of the Mahle's thick enough to do that? Interesting... > the hynes says you adjust hydros till no lash and then only one turn > interestin! Very interesting indeed! BTW, Bob Donalds of Boston Engine told me that he is so adamant about the 1/4-1/2 turn thing that he called up Bentley and convinced them to change the spec in the new CD manual... My ultra-conservative been-there-gotten-screwed-like-that manual in my head says "1/2 turn is too much!" :-) > 0.035 deck is very tight how did you check your valves had enough > clearance. a good safe clearance seems to be .050". Well, I did it kinda in the reverse order from what you should. I took the advice of an engine builder and set it up like that. I was doing a conversion to hydro in the process, but had a set of old solid lifters, too. With the pistons, cylinders, and heads already on, I put in two solid lifters, two pushrods, and a rocker arm setup onto one cylinder. Then, I set clearance to zero and rotated everything through, stopping near the high points and trying to screw in the adjuster even more. It went a good amount still with no added resistence, enough to let me trust the builder. If I were building a unique setup, I'd be doing quite a bit more math on it :-) > i work in metric as it is the way these engines were designed it feels > alien to use inches with them . Yah... we have a silly double standard on everything.... we can say 195/60/15 tires, pushing 94mm pistons with 5.5" rods on a 78mm crank with 2.000" rod journals :-) > im very happy with my brakes too its just getting close to a disc swap > and new pads anyway. im on silicone fluid but thats another story and ive > never looked back. I haven't done anything non-stock to my Ghia brakes yet... I'm in the process of figuring out where budget and desire meet on that one right now :-). My Fasty brakes I'll leave alone for awhile - it will *only* get a 914 2.0 engine.
