This is not my first engine, I started by the stock 1600SP and gone with a 1775SP, 1775DP, 2074 and now this 2165.

I've built several others engines for friends such as a 2007 hot street NA, 2007 turbo, 1835 TW camper cruiser...

Good looking motor....The bus has a nice, nose down stance. Killer

I'll be paying attention to the rest of this thread...very similar to my build...even if mine has changed to this and that and whatever.

Im happy to see you putting a 94mm piston based engine in a bus. Ive done it a few times already and no problems with overheating on customers builds. Hell, I have to call them to inquire on how it runs after they PCS-ed. Press on!

Thanks for your replies, I'm glad to see some followers here!

So go for all new parts collected for this build. I started this engine from my old 2074c which served me well for over 18000 miles.

The only parts kept from my 2074 are the case, oil pump, crank, flywheel, clutch, damper pulley, rods Scat chromoly heads studs and CB breather box , exhaust and ignition, all other parts are new.

So let’s go to detail them in the order I received those.

First of all, magnum straight cut cam gears, best quality as CE are randomly available.

Torsten Pieper 56g tool steel lifters

Most awaited box from States ! It contains all my new valve train parts except my pushrods as I’ll have to make my valve train geometry to order them custom cut.

So here is my order from Steve and Greg Tims containing my heads, FK44 cam, CB Dellorto Jets doctors, CB racemaster valves, CB lightweight wrist pins, and a Summit order containing all my Comp Cam hardware and two oil filters.

CB racemaster valves which are interesting for my beehive springs setup. I needed longer valves with a single groove with an 8 mm stem to go with my heads. But as those have an 8 mm stem, they have a 5/16” tip which offered me more choice for valve locks and retainers in US cars catalogs.

Comp Cams valve locks suited for my valves no need to trim them as with vw ones they don’t touch each other…

All fit together, it was a big stress for me as I don’t feel very good with US units !

now you're just showing off! Wink
That will be a very nice build. When you pay for international shipping I guess it pays to order everything in one shot, eh? I'm eager to see the valves and springs assembled into the heads. How do those compare to Bugpack or CB duals?

For shipping, it depends on the size of the box, for small package, I pay about $15 by USPS, with the $/€ rate, it's very interesting.

For larger packages, I go with Vintage Autohaus in France, it's a cool company leaded by two good friends K-Rot and T-Fabs. Fabs is based in California (DKP member) and can collect parts for us then put them in containers to France. It take some time, but when you are not in a hurry, it's cheap.

For the springs, you'll see them installed later Wink

Spring rates are similar to some light duals, but with their beehive shape and the ultra light valve train, they can handle RPMs without the stress of a heavy valve train, resulting in less noise, less wear and more power !

Here are the specs (click on pic to see it bigger)

Yep Murzi this is a cool cam, I wonder how would it be on a light beetle through Wink

So first big part of the build, case prep!

I started by measuring it, why make all mods on a dead case? After checking main and cam bore, I starter unplugging all oil galleys and tapped them to 3/8” NPT, ¼” NPT and 1/8” NPT plugs, pretty basic but it take some time and I prefer having opened oil galleys before putting mag chips in.

After that it was time to put my crank and rods in to make some room. I like to do this by hand so I can remove just what I have to remove. Why have a case stocker cleared for a 84 crank when you only put a 78 crank in it?

After my crank was rotating freely it was time to work on breathing system. Here it is raw … and finally sanded with 80 grit paper.

Next is the oil evacuation at cam gears housing that needed some massaging.

The Brazil crappy oil pick up tube is changed for a German one, oil sump extension is welded on, and I cut some holes to help oil drain.

Next was some other mods to help a good breathing, , made some pockets around #2 and #3 bearing saddles, raw …

And another oil galley is drilled on the case following this HVX mod:

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Next was to put another bearing pin on #3 saddle to put a second “center bearing” behind cam gear, has it is easier for maintenance…

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


I use an old main bearing with dowel pin hole drilled.

Case is closed and bearing are aligned…

Last thing was to press in Rocky sleeves, so I had to make some tooling to hold the case on the milling table, and made some lifter bore centering bars, mad this mod with my friend Eddy who owns a small milling machine as I was in vacations with no access to “my” machines at the time.

Rocky sleeves assure permanent oiling around lifters so permanent oiling to rockers like we want with Bob Hoover mod.

Las thing about the case is that after first mockup, pistons were bottoming the case as it was previously bored for 92 pistons. As I went from 92 TW to 94 pistons during the build, I gave it to a friend who has a berg cutter and we milled the case to clear 94 mm pistons.

After this last machining, the case had to be cleaned another time, so go for the dishwasher and to a hot tanking, look at how surfaces came uniformly oxidized like they were cast as is!

On that pic, you can clearly see air passages done on top of #2 and #3 bearing saddles. Black lines on #1 saddle are only some pencil marks, I'll explain you when I'll detail bearing prep.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Case is now ready to abuse after about 50 hours work on it!

Please don’t hesitate to correct my spelling or technical terms, I’ll edit my post accordingly !
It would be easier to me to speak to you in French Laughing Laughing

Please tell me that's not a picture of your own mistake! First time I did that I was nervous as hell. Second time I was pretty confident, third time I almost went right through the case as it was cast a bit different than the first two! Lucky I caught myself at the last minute..
Are you going to weld the sump tube on, or are you confident enough with the clamp? I haven't done mine yet as I don't have the sump. I've been wondering if it matters enough to do it now and weld it, or maybe just the clamp as that's what I've always used successfully.
The extra pin you installed for the center bearing, can you elaborate on where/ why? My stock cases have always had a pin in both case halves, I must be missing something.. I'll get a coffee and think about this some more.
Very nice play by play on the lifter sleeves. The bars and reamers are on my christmas list so I can do this to my next case..

No that pic is from internet Wink

Sump tube is welded on my oil pick up tube, the clamp was for the berg cow magnet, I finally don't use it as I have the Jaycee Magnetic sump plate and oil suction kit, I think it's enough insurance.

For the dowel pin, it's not on the center bearing saddle, it's on the third one to put another split bearing behind cam gears an not the one piece regular bearing.

You can see it in this pic, now I have a dowel pin on #2 & #3 on 1/2 side case.

With that mod, during future tear downs, I wont have to remove dist and cam gear to change bearings.

That's also why you see 2 center bearings on my main bearings picture posted above.

To go along with the case, here is the Scat Sump,

Not much work needed as mounting surfaces are ground flat after checking with a dial indicator. However, I didn't like the way Scat wants you to install their deep sump by directly screwing it in the soft mag case.

I decided to use a "stock like" installation with studs & nuts, so I searched some nuts in M6 size with an allen socket in them. Found those Yamaha exhaust nuts.

As their flared base was too large for my sump, they went on the lathe and now look like CB 8mm allen exhaust nuts.

I then drilled the sump so I could pass trough with a 6mm allen wrench

Scat should provide their sumps with similar nuts !

Next the sump went on the mill to be surfaced then drilled for a 3/8" NPT fitting to receive the excessive oil flow from 3/4 valve cover.

After that, it has been thoroughly cleaned and hot tanked, then studs were loctited.... Ready for use too !

Now the "box" is completely ready, let's go for internal parts Wink

Vince, nice work with the Scat sump, you've found a solution to the #1 complaint about them: the mounting. Out of curiosity, what is the total thickness of that sump, and is it the 1.5 or 2 quart model? I have a few E##I sumps and they hang down almost a full 3", too much for a lowered street car

Vince you do awesome work! Are you using a drill press or a mill for this work? I'd love to see some more on that turbo 2007.

The Gene Berg oil sump comes with all the correct mounting hardware and is truly a bolt on item. It is well worth the extra cost they charge.

My biggest worry would be the vent fitting you put on top of the case. The case is very thin and not deep enough to support the fitting. I would put JB Weld around the case and fitting after you fit all the cooling tin and are sure it is located where it will stay.

Bravo impressive work :0)

The only thing I may have done differently is to go with ACN Squishy pistons, if you where planning on hauling any heavy loads… it is the only solution I have come up with that may avoid the heads 45-50 HP limit for continuous use, due to the heads heat dissipation issues (such as would be needed when climbing steep hills or exceeding 80MPH on the freeway for long periods) most likely not problems you are concerned with. The ACN Squishy pistons have been reported to run the heads almost too cool even under heavy use

Look forwards to seeing more of your work!

This is the 1.5qt model, I ran CB model too and I prefer the Scat one with it's stock drain plate. Scat is approximately .2" thicker that's nothing...

I use mills, lathes and also CNC mills & lathe. I'm a CNC turning and milling teacher so I have full access to them at school.
For the turbo 2007, you'll see it here, but in French sorry : http://panelvan.skynetblogs.be/archives/category/2007-turbo/index-1.html go bottom of the page then scroll up then go in page 1

Berg sump are too thick for my application as my bus is pretty lowered.

No problem for the top fitting I've about .32" meat where it's screwed. I have to do the same thing with way less meat on my #3 manifold for my bus brake servo and never had a problem.
