I really like the idea of the WBX block for the type 4 mains

the waterboxer only has one type 4 sized main, the #1 with the 5bolt flywheel attachment, all others are type 1 size

Yes , but a 21 mm bearing. Has anyone an idea to fix a Type4 split bearing into that case ? I thought about welding the inside to machine it to 22 mm and bore it to type4

Thanks for the clarification on the main bearings. I guess the right thing to do is run the factory crank with some countereweight on it. Is this what other guys are doing?

Thanks Udo. I finally remember where I met you. It was at a VEGAS event in the pits. Don Bulitta, a VW buddy, introduced me to you and that is when I heard about your tool steel lifters.

Maybe Gerd Weiser (GWD) has some Limbach cranks left on shelf. Some years ago he built several WBX stroker engines using Limbach cranks.
