maybe look at fitting cam bearings when you get chance, think the case has to be machined to take them... :)

Glenn, yes one day but according to the 1950s book 'Souping the Volkswagen' even pulling the baffle from a stock tailpipe can make a huge difference!
Hope all is good with you.

What you really need is to give Ray Schubert a bell at Speedwell , he can fab you up one of his 356 carrera mufflers .

Had a chat with him at Volksword show where he had one on display and was really impressed with it and very reasonably priced too , top bloke 8)
Oh and may need you to pop over to take some pic's of my ride again soon ;)

Hi Glenn
Would definiately like one of those Speedwell systems (as on Dick Mitchell's Oval) but it won't be this year!
Would be great to pop over but it would more than blow my VW budget; 5 years is a long time to be away. :(
besserwisser:
Do a valve job and get some better valve springs to be able to rev more. Flycut 2mm and change the intake to 34mm. Dual 28 and a Reichert intake kit that is still available. Met Mr Reichert last may and he is still active and selling his kits. I have reground cams with better lift and duration for sale and several motors running with this stuff.
RichardinNZ:
Not sure I can pull the money together at the moment for the bigger valves but will look into it. 34mm sounds big; don't the Okrasa dual port heads have 33mm?
Thanks
Richard
