Jesse's '64 - Dynoday

[Jesse/DVK]

The case was 540 euros I ordered it at John Maher, I had an old case at first but I was just as expensive to get that one line bored etc as a new case.

Some pics.





This week I will order a lot of the smaller parts, cam, lifters, oil pump etc.

[Paulus]

Cool Jesse !  Case looks nice
Have you orderred the smaller parts at Kaagkevers with the groupbuy ?

[Jesse/DVK]

I ordered SCAT I-beams from Kaag, but I can't go their on saturday I have to work.

The other stuff is ordered yesterday at vwspeedshop.co.uk.

Engle FK8
CB Straight cuts
CB lightweight lifters
Manton pushrods lightweight
Dual springs
Chromolly retainers
shadek 26mm
Gene Berg fullflow cover
Kennedy racing stage 1
Daikin super disc


A question btw, should I swap out the brazilian oil pick-up tube for an original german one??

[tikimadness]

Did you get the shuffle pins at the maincenter?

I am curious about what John Mayer thinks about that mod as I read not everyone thinks it is nescessary.

Michael

[Jesse/DVK]

No I didn't get the shuffle pins. I believe that when everything is balanced correctly and torqued to the right spec it shouldn't be a problem on a 1915.


But why are you reacting on a non cal-look car?

It doesn't have to be a cal-looker to be liked by me

good choice.
I think You should ubgrade to the german pick up tube. Paul has them new if You wont just ask him.
the brazilan aren't bad but the ending bit sucking oil is always on wrong engle. that doesn't metter if You're not running with oextra oil sump but if You are the extension will be cockeyed.

[Jesse/DVK]

I have an original pick-up tube lying around from an old case, but I can't seem to get the old pick-up tube out. It isn't fixed anywhere else besides the nut at the pick up end is it?

Some rods cam in

[Germanlkmanx]

Not fixed in other than a mild interference fit where the tube enters the case. If you are not reusing the old pickup (and I wouldn't be) then take a wide faced chisel and and give it a few whacks with a mallet where the tube meets the saucer part, that should free it from the case.

tom.

[Jesse/DVK]

Thanks, I managed to get it out and put in the original one.

I have a question, all the parts I bought are balanced, should I balance them also all together?

[Diederick/DVK]

yup, all together! that's the main key!

[Felix/DFL]

Hey nice progress going on here!
I even bought a new case after I splitted 3 cases. You don`t wanna build a exclusive house on an dubious
fundament 

As said balance everything even together with the kennedy.I switched from VW clutchpalte to a kennedy out of the box now I have some vibrations at and rpm range that weren`t there before...

Go on,
Felix

[Jesse/DVK]

Hi Felix,

But now you have Brazil on the side of the engine instead of germany 

I'm having the machine work done in the next coming weeks, drill out the heads voor 94mm pistons and cut them for dual springs. And balance everything together. Hope that it makes a sweet running engine.

Still debating on the IDA's, going for new ones (very good price now with the low pound) or going for second hand italians....


Jesse/DVK

[Diederick/DVK]

keep in mind the used items may not prove to be ready to use or in good state.
i know 

[airstuff]

even with the new Spain IDA's,sometimes you don't know what you're getting,cause they can come with bad floats

[Felix/DFL]

But now you have Brazil on the side of the engine instead of germany 

No no, on my case stands Mexico But the best would be a new D one but not available even for good money...
The Mex and brasil cases need some smoothing inside the finish is way beyound compaired to an D case.Just lay them side by side and you see the areas which need to be smoothed

To the IDA`s:
I have bought spanish one`s and you really need to take them apart complete, two co-screw`s were bent and chisels inside the body and the overall quality is not that good.If I hadn`t bought them I would buy these:

ITALIAN`S,40mm Vent. 3rd hole,rebuild, floats opend and polished nice deal...

Greetz!

[Jesse/DVK]

Mexico, brazil, all the same 

That is nice deal, but i'm spending my money now on balancing etc. .

Just a question, I would like to build the longblock now and than save for carbs etc. So it wil take like 2 months after the longblock has been build before it would start up for the first time.

Is this a problem for the greasing of parts and the stuff you put on the cam etc? Will it vaporize or something?

hoi Jesse allemaal heel leuk die gagets maar als je al niet weet wat je wel en niet kan doen dan word het een hele dure hobby
on the other hand if you need any advise or support ill be glad to help you out to make sure that you run that engine like you stole it with no problems at all .

groeten HENRI.

[Jesse/DVK]

Hi Henri,

Well you can help me by answering my question.

I think i'm well capable of building an engine. I just want to make this sure.

[mr horsepower]

Ok Jesse dust sticks on any kind of lube, like a magnet on iron ,even if you wrap your engine in it stil wil be full of dust when you open it ,we use high pressure hot tanks to clean our engines and if we have to wait for any parts we store them dry ,even after that we inspect the parts and clean them out with a solvent or the hot tank
and about the grease its liquide so even after a small period of time it drips off !
my suggestion is to wait with the assembly till you have all the parts in hous an then fire it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIND REGARDS HENRI.

[airstuff]

Jesse,you can do it man :)Thumbs up

[Diederick/DVK]

jesse, i'm gonna wait till i have all my parts and then get it done in a matter of days.
i've been wondering the same thing but it's not a good idea to assemble and let it sit for a long time...

[Jesse/DVK]

Ok guys, I'm looking for carbs now. I can't really decide. Spanish IDA's (looks like DRD sells a good products they are checked and have a 3rd progression hole drilled) voor 1050 dollars or look for Italians? Are all the parts still available at normal prices? Or maybe I should go for another type of carb? IDF, DNCF? Car is street drivin on a regular basis.

[airstuff]

Jesse,have you thought of 44 and 48 Idf's? :)I know they are not as cool as IDA's,but they should be easier to tune and better for street and everyday driving.

What If rain starts sipping into you IDA's

No doubt,IDA's are much sexier

[Jesse/DVK]

Today I recieved two big boxes from the vwspeedshop . Looks like I almost got all the parts now to start building. Sorry for the bad pics, the battery of the cam was empty so I used my phone.




Cilinders/pistons, bearings, flywheel


30hp fanshroud with doghouse

[Diederick/DVK]

good job jesse!

[Jesse/DVK]

Look what the postman brought So happy! Finally a set of IDA's!





How should I check em out?

[Jesse/DVK]

Some progress again.

Checking all the clearances etc. Got my CB equalizer pulley.



Porting my manifolds for my heads



A crappy pic of my new dash layout. Monster tach and two VDO gauges.



I'm going to the Otto Bros next week to have everything balanced and some work on my heads so after that I can start building

[Jesse/DVK]

A quick question. I want to run SS braided lines with AN fittings for fuel lines from regulator to the IDA's and oil lines. What size should I use? -6 or -8?
