Thanks Zach.  Wink

Quote from: Nico86 on February 04, 2011, 23:57:05 pm

I'm starting ordering parts, here are the last things I need help with :

1. About copperheads gaskets, do I need it ? Are they included in the 1300/1600 engine gasket kit ? I see there are 0.040" and 0.060"...

2. To mount the crank in the case I need : bearings kit of course + brass gear + oil slinger + flywheel seal + this http://www.vwparts.net/BP4034.html  Huh No seal behind the crank pulley right ?

3. About the seals between cylinders and case (don't know the name in english) the one in the 1300/1600 engine gasket kit are ok ? Or I need other seals for the 90,5 cylinders ?

4. The correct Mahle 90,5 kit I need is the A forged piston-cyl. kit : http://www.vwparts.net/BP4576-16X.html ?

You don't need copper head gaskets. And you also don't need the paper gaskets under the cylinders, some high temp silicone works a treat Wink

I'm looking to crank/case bearings...

If there'are no Kolbenschmidt, Mahle are ok ?

About the cam bearings, is it better to use double thrust bearings http://www.vwparts.net/111198541HD.html or standard ones ar fine http://www.vwparts.net/111198541.html ?

Mahle is ok, Kolbenschmidt is better. Whatever you get, make sure the split bearing is steel backed!! I'd go for the double thrust.

Seems that Kolbenschmidt  bearings are unavailable for the moment. I asked several shops about it : the best quality they have is Mahle, Kolbenschmidt are out of stock most of the time, and they don't know when they will get them.  Huh

What do you think, Mahle are still ok for a mild engine ?

As long as the center split bearing is steel backed, yes.

There is a post on the other forum, about bearings and steelback, there is also Silverline Bearings that are steelback and sound good. Below is a link to the Samba on Silverline Bearings. Am seriously thinking about a set for my spare motor I'm refreshing.

I hear that AJ Sims is coming out with bearings also, sounds very impressive. Jason Foster (DKP) will be running a set from AJ, according to the post.

Only the center main bearing is steel backed. The one that is in two halves. It is noticeably heavier than the rest of the bearings.

Thanks Zach, I didn't find a correct translation to french for "steel backed".

Got all things figured out and all the infos I need. Ready to order parts. Just need to find a way to contact DPR and to find a VHT paint dealer in europe.

Just one last minute thought : since my heads will go to a machine shop for some little works I will use 1,25 rockers and dual springs with Engle W110. What about 1,4 rockers?? Is that good even with 35.5x32 valves?? Too much (too high rpms for the engine)?? Will it imply many more modification to the rest of the engine?

The 110 isn't designed for 1.4 rockers. Do you have a cam yet?

Keep it simple, Nico. Stock ratio rockers, stock size valves, single HD springs Wink

Yep I have to stop asking myself questions and start working, or I will never have it done  Grin
Just wondering if it could get the engine "less flat", but choosing another cam is boring.

Ok I promise : after that I will stop thinking and start doing something!  Embarrassed Grin

What about choosing a cam that can work with either 1.1 and 1.25 and 1.4 rockers, like SLR XV series http://www.vwparts.net/SLRCAM.html ??

Then I could try different ratio-rockers/springs if what I have is not satisfying...
