Yep so the race motor is crap. Big crack that goes through the case saver n dwn to the cylinder cut out. Lookin at options. Not sue what my next move is.

You would try a call to RIMCO in Cal. http://www.rimcovw.com/home/services/ They have the name in So. Cal for preparing motors for the top racers.

I know they weld cases to increase durability. Not sure they will repair cracked cases.

This is on of the few shops I would trust to weld on a VW case.

It's a tricky operation requiring annealing before and after the welding process. If done improperly can result in making the metal brittle and subjected to even more cracking.

Here are some examples of Rimco's welding. I'm impressed.

Not to change the subject, but tonight 2/3, I'll be replacing the fuel injectors on my new (Vanagon) daily driver and hopefully I will be able to drive it daily... soon

If you want to come out and see, or get dirty, we'll be there at 6:00 pm.

It was never a real race motor. Just a quick 1641

Bob herbie hooked me up with a long block so I can just put tins back on and shove it back in the car.

Jack I talked to Shawn, the crack block we can still take apart someday so u can teach us how to do a split block main bearings and stuff. Do it with the club? Never did one (successfully)

Shawn had the wrong injectors didn't get anything done tonight.

Well I learned about VW specific tools that Shawn has so I wouldn't call it a waste of a night

Ant (Pop's Garage) · February 03, 2015, 10:37:31 PM
