Audirac VW of Vista, CA? Headflow Masters

[wolfgang67]

well, i need a case, with some work done..and the shop offered to do it for about 300 bills.

Audirac Vw's of Vista CA. i had never heard of the shop. after i spread my center main, i was off lookin through hot vw's for some used ones, or cheap new ones. look through the hot vw's you have close at hand, and look them up.

As their site seems to have dissapeared, i simply would like to know if anyone has heard of them, or had any work done by them.

work to be done:
..Case, full flow, time serts, line bore, lifter bosses bored, thrust cut w/ new main barings to fit. $300. i know it may seem cheap to some, and high to others...bottom line...i need a case as school starts in 2 weeks.



If anyone else by chance has the same kind of deal, im willing to talk, i just need some kind of answers, i havent had hardly any replaies on cal-look or shoptalk. help me out guys.

Thanks in advance.

I have dealt with audirac vw twice in the past two months both transaction were smooth and timely. Although I had him do some type 4 heads and not an engine case he does excellent work and I will use him again.

I have no other suggestions for shops in the cali area for case work seeing that I do it all in house.

I have worked along side and now do business with adrian. Going on 18 years now. If you are on a time line make sure you are precise on when you need it, and make sure he understands the urgency, he will get it done. Good things to say for sure.

P.S. His work is good but make sure you finish clean everything throughly prior to assembly.

Adrian has done both T-1 head work case work for me. I have no complaints as Adrian does good work.

I got my 1915 long block from him and although its on my "weekend driver" so far so good. I has a couple of small oil leaks but other than that no complaints. I've been thinking of having him uprade my heads.

adirac vw is now headflow masters = www.headflowmaster.com. i got a 1776 from adrian about 2 and 1/2 years ago. i always thought it
would get me from a to b and maybe c but after 2.5 years of racing
around town i had to take a trip. i went from san diego to lake havasu,
havasu to prescott az, then from prescott home to sd. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I
had to rest more times then the car did. and every time i stopped i
looked for oil drops- NOTHING!!! the whole trip , there and back, NO
PROBLEMS!! i will buy my engines from him as long as i drive a vw (and i
dont ever plan on driving anything else).

Has anyone had a Type IV longblock built by Adrian's shop? If so, what was the turnaround time (quoted and actual), and how is she running?

Cheers,
Jos

What's up with Adrian. I ordered a T-4 bus motor from him with a 50% deposit. We have spoken many times over the phone and on e-mail. I like him and have confidence in his work. ( I researched before I called) But today his phone is disconnected. Anybody here know anything?
Edit;
A few hours later...

He just e-mailed me with his cell phone # and explanation. Ball is rolling.

After a year of searching for a quality Engine builder and also someone who stands behind there products my search has finaly come to an end. My experience with Adrian and Headflow Masters has been nothing short of outstanding.

Let me start with a little background about my bus. I have spent nearly a year and almost $30,000 fully restoring a 79 sage green Westfalia to near perfect stock condition. My Multi- award winning bus ( Best in show, best , in class, 1st, 2nd and 4th place trophys in just this summer alone )deserves nothing less than the best.

With no expense being spared in this restoration I went on a quest for the best aircooled engine builder that I could find that would also stand behind there work. Im here to say look no further. Adrian and Headflow Masters is the only place I will ever go for my aircooled engine needs. Not only does Adrian do some incredible work he also provides the best support you could ever hope for. The turn around time once he recieved my deposit was as we had discussed. The Engine came in a very secure crate with the engine bolted in place to assure no damage in transit. The transaction was seamless. Threw the whole process Adrian answered all my questions, phone calls and emails, he went above and beyond with his support. To top it all off the engine was incredibly affordable.

Engine Specs:
2.0 GE 79 FI Aircooled
New AMC Heads fully improved by Adrian
Heads full port and polish
911 swivel foot adjusters
1.7 rocker arms
Chromoly pushrods
Counter weighted crank
Fully balanced engine parts static and dynamic
Webcam 142 grind solid lifter CAM, Lifters and CAM gear
All new Seals, gaskets, bearings
Rebuilt Rods with Upgraded oiling slot for better cooling

Adrian provided and engine case for the build as well as a nice fan and shroud with matching engine numbers. Thanks Adrian for spending the extra time looking for these items for me. Very greatful.

To sum things up I am more than please with my experience with Headflow Master and Im am very proud to have one of Adrian's engines in my bus.

Here are a few pictures of the engine
