That....is so true!

And...Spencervee......where....where.....where...where....did I EVER say or point out that the type 4 was.............BETTER.....than type 1? or the best?


Where?


Your original post was asking about a 200k vw engine. You did not STATE type 1 or type 4.....and...did not state a budget.

I am NOT trying to convince you to use a type 4......simply pointing out that most of the pieces and characteristics you NEED for a 200k ACVW engine...........ALREADY EXIST.....in the type 4......STUDY IT! Use some of that. Type 4 is simply an improved type 1.....for good reason.

But hey...it appears you are looking for a thread to suggest every manner of exotica to make a type 1 last as long as an ....improved type 1...which is nothing but a type 4.

You also did not suggest...what SIZE engine you were looking for....what HP and torque range....or how you plan to drive it.

One could simply build a 4o horse with an aftermarket oil filter and a counterweighted crank with aftermarket injection and we could have solved this on page 2.

Don't act like people are jacking your thread who are not. Just be more careful in your original post and title.

In defence of Ray, his contributions here stand head and shoulders above most on the Samba for technical content, accuracy and down to earth realism but not everyone is able to comprehend it...

Enjoy your type 1 200K mile engine.

spencerfvee, I admire your ability to dream in this thread and another one in this forum, I too have dreamed dreams, that is what drives progress but some are possible but some are not. VW spent 50 years with the best German engineer team and materials trying to solve what you are dreaming of but in the end failed. Others have pointed out the pinnacle of those efforts which you reject. Fair enough. Go ahead and do what VW never achieved but with Chinese copy parts.

Sorry about reality...

Yeah you're probably wrong about that. VW's goal was (and is) to make a reasonably reliable car that would meet the customer's expectation of how long their product should last, and make money doing it. That is a road full of compromises and realistic goals, NOT a road full of lofty service life specifications, infinitely deep pockets, and "make it invincible at any cost" ultimatums from project management. VW did not set out to make a 200k engine and never got there, they set out to make an engine last about 100k and did it millions of times.

You missed the point of this thread, which is actually pretty cool. We know that VW did NOT set out to make a 200k mile engine, and we were here to discuss what we might do to get closer to that goal, because our goals are different than VWs.

I don't care about German engineering. Main reason why I do this is because I thought it was cool when my Dad was doing it when I was a kid.

To build a long living type 1, I would overbuild it, meaning build a 120hp engine like its gonna have 200hp. Nice thing about Type 1 stuff, you can point and click every item and have it all show up and build it. Below is a Longblock with all this in mind, about $4200 total when you add in some other small parts.

1968cc Thickwall
Order Aluminum case from Brothers ($1200 total) but have bronze bushings in lifter bores installed, as bronze lasts longer then aluminum or mag. Opt for the groove as this includes the super long drill bit operation that is scary to do but gives better oiling. 94mm, and 10mm studs.
http://www.brothersvwmachineshop.com/machine.htm

Cb 74mm Forged Crank $229
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1107.htm

12lb German forged flywheel from DPR $150
http://dprmachine.com/products/flywheels-2/

H-Beam Rods $259, remember we are not building "just enough to last" we are overbuilding it, and its only $100 more then others
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1289.htm

92 Thickwalls-$234
https://aapistons.com/products/92mmx69mm-thick-wall-fits-94mm-head-cylinder

CB2236 Cam$99, which works well with 1.25 rockers. It similar to 110, but gets its lift more from ratio rocker then all from the cam. Its more gentle, and overall more powerfull. Again, less stress on valve train
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/2236.htm

CB lightweight lifters $178:
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1537.htm

CB Chromoly Pushrods $79
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1628.htm

Magnum Straight Cut gears from Brothers $129
http://www.brothersvwmachineshop.com/parts.htm

CB Panchito heads with CNC chambers $670

CB Mil Spec 10mm Chromo head studs $69
Again overbuilt for strength, not elastic 8mm for the low horsepower theorists.
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1223.htm

CB stainless pushrod tubes $39
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1567.htm

CB thinline sump $119, or Empi equivilant that has the drain plug
https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1770.htm

Stainless teflon oil lines with steel AN fittings about $120. I ordered mine from hose shop and ordered steel fittings.

30m oil pump $56
You can adjust your oil weight accordingly down better then you can adjusting up, this is the reason for the 30.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/254939531587?epid=3019850105&hash=item3b5b948943:g:TUEAAOSwKZ1gdKjE

This will be a overbuilt type 1 with durability and long life in mind.



Thank you for the post that contains some really useful info. The page that follows after this is the garbage that drives people away from forums.
