I hope they stay around $1000. Then maybe more people will turn to the type 4 platform. Then maybe they'll start making more aftermarket parts for the type 4. Twisted Evil


Is there an aftermarket replacement case for type 4? Ive seen the AMC replacement heads but cases and bearings always seem to be the problem these days.


No there are no typ4 cases . some new ones are avaliable in germany or industry engine cases that are like new

Type 4 cases being a problem these days? I have NEVER seen a Type 4 case that needed machine work, unlike pretty much every used type 1 engine. They are about as bullet proof as you can get. So far there has not been enough demand for Type 4 cases to warrant new reproductions due to the fact that most used cases are still in good shape and can be reused again and again.

I have 30+ type IV cases here that all need machine work. They shuffle @ the centre main saddle. Best one I have found out of that lot was down 0.02mm... still not good enough for a build, hence face the halves and line bore... Rolling Eyes

I'm right there with you. I think in 25 years, I've seen 1 or 2 that couldn't be used. I have a whole pallet of good used bus and porsche cases. Who needs one?
