They got some wild stuff for those motors now. I used to hang out at JR BugStuff when I was in high school. I think Jack is still in business. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bugstuff/161305630557487 The biggest motor then was 2,000cc with a roller crank with twin Webers.

What I can remember on rebuilding VW motors was that they don't like Quaker State oil. They would sludge up so bad the oil wouldn't flow back into the crank case from the heads. The push rod tubes would be packed up with sludge. :shakes head:

thanks brother.

Your memory would serve you as correct. LOL

Let me give you some advice. The largest piston/barrel combo needs to be 90.5mm. Longevity wise they are king. Lesson learned here. I ordered at 2110cc engine, 90.5mm x 82mm. What I got was a 2165cc, 94mm x 78mm stroke. I got the big valve 044 heads. I ended up having to go back through the engine, replace the heads with some Gene Berg ported/polished semi hemi cut heads. The machine work was beautiful. I would suggest you get Gene Berg's books and read them. Save yourself some time and money.

I can remember one guy driving in and asking for a tune up. Pulled the plugs out and they was covered in oil, plus one had a smashed electrode. Hmmmmm did a compression test. One cylinder had zero compression. Removed the valve cover. Packed full of sludge. :eek: Turned the motor over by hand. The the rockers for the valves on the zero cylinder barely moved. Hmmmm removed the rockers and the push rods wouldn't come out. Hmmmmm finally got them out and they was bent. Hmmmmmm Removed the head and had 2 pistons at TDC. Hmmmmmmmmm Rebuild time. This was the first time I seen a piston break at the oil ring land. The top of the piston was at TDC and the rest of the piston shirt was still moving in the cylinder like nothing happened. :rofl2:

The air cooled motors liked Castrol oil. No sludge.

I actually though about turbocharging a 2005 and using the 2.0T Audi badging.

Shell Rotella

I don't know what they use now.

2110cc with some 90.5mm thick wall cylinder jugs. Which means you would boar out to 92mm's.

my tummy hurts

:mad:

Yup. Castrol wa all we used growing up. But my dad never bought the big jugs, always by the quart.

:wtf2:

That would be a longggggg drive..lol..I have the quickjack, 4 jackstands and a floor jack. I'll take a stab at the diff project. I'll just tell my gf to call the ambulance when she hears me say... hold my beer. Watch this!

Look at all the country you would see driving cross country. :driving: Take RT70 out, and RT80 back.

It's not hard. Just takes time. Give yourself a whole weekend. I can walk you through it.

Working on the front splitter today. Decided to give my Nismo a big mouth. Removed the center cross piece and opened up the inlet more. I'll post pic's when I'm done with the splitter.
