220+ hp is pretty neat! Are you using the CNC version as a base and add a little fluff`n buff? And which springs have you used?

Thank you for sharing, it`s always interesting to read about other people engines.

BeetleBug

I am using the CNC version , and am aware that they do not flow as well as they should out of the box , so I have done a lot of chamber and port matching work , which will improve things hopefully .

The heads came with the CB springs , I may go up to K-motions , but may run the CB springs to start with . I have found that the valve seats settle a lot after some use , so we will be having the heads off after some run time , and assessing the situation .

It should be a Ripper for sure .

Yes there is for sure some discussions going on the flow # of those CE heads, 270 something according to the homepage is far from the truth.

Have you used the special split Scat #1 bearing with the flange crank? Will the engine be used on the street?

Oh yes , all our cars are street , that's what Cal-Look is about , no race cars please .

The bearings have come from VW Speedshop , I think they are BugPack ones , I have used them before with no problems .

Wow, a flange crank in a street engine - how cool is that!! And this is not even the first one if I understand you correctly? Does the bearing cope well with the extra wear?

Hmmmm, maybe I will try a flange crank instead of a wedged one on my next engine  Smiley

I have one other customer running one on the street , and Paul Hamilton at VWSpeedshop , has one in his 12.5 second Bay window panel , that he drives 100 miles to York raceway , runs mid 12's all day , then drives home .

I think the trick is to not hang about at all on the clutch , shift as quick as possible to minimise wear on the thrust surface .

We only go over to the flange cranks , for M&H treads or slicks .

It's coming in to the workshop very shortly , I had hoped to be into it by now , but the work is stacked up against me , fortunately I have a friend helping me now , so we can gradually catch up .

I'll post pic's as it goes .

It has a stock 1500 at the moment , but is having the 1835 motor out of the Coral 54 Rag , when his new 2276 IDA motor goes in . I am waiting for the gearbox for the Coral rag , before I can do that , so it's holding things up a little , but we have plenty of other work to do .

Will any of the beatiful looking lookers on the pics be attending the Sunset Bracket & German Car Day at Shakespeare County Raceway in October? I`m coming over and was hoping to see as many nice cars as possible....

Great sprint kit! Gotta love that old speed!

But a W130 cam? Wow! Don't you get off cam all the time? And then you have to shift back?

Ok you have lost me you do not know what make are the bearings. I think they are BugPack because you have used them before. If i was to take $5000+ for a motor that i was putting together for someone. They would get a list of all the parts used  lets see (what bearings do i have in my motor). (Dont know but they are ok i have used them before) ok can i have my money back now. Huh
