I tried to edit my 2015 post to add the following photos, but the site won't let me as too much time has lapsed since I posted them.

I was back in Wolfsburg in August 2017 and made another visit to the VW Automuseum whilst there. I just now found these additional photos I took of the Type 4 cutaway engine I shot whilst back there, so am posting as they are a good reference point.

The original main 2015 photos of the cutaway engine can be viewed on page 31 of this thread here:

For the guys who have painted/coated their engine parts, is there any pieces you DONT want to paint? Or that you wish you would have used a different coloring process on? ie paint instead of powdercoat or ceramic instead of paint?

Curious because Im having some parts powdercoated and ceramic coated for my rabbit pickup build. May as well double up and have both engines done all together!

Looks like trash. Is that a cutaway engine? Any more pics?

what is with this seal at the dipstick?

[rusty busty]

Since these pics I've put about 6,000 km on her. At least 500 km on some remote logging roads. Gone to 2 music festivals. Gotten stuck in the mud and had to rev the engine up and pop the clutch a half dozen times to get unstuck.

I've also changed the coil, distributor, and wires since these pics were taken, just for fun.

Great summer with the bus. I think I'm feeling one more road trip before my insurance runs out in 6 weeks.

Very true - yes indeed their were 2 liter dual carb versions out there. I made a funny in the respect that there are many a story on how wrong the tags in the VW museum are. Ive never heard a reason why this is? So it just looks like the factory is wrong on their own product in their own museum.

This motor is either wrong or a combination of things. We may never know. But I would still love to own it and have in my collection!

SS fuel line kit (Kaddie Shack). FYI, they don't sell a pre-made kit, only the straight lines and fittings. You have to do all the bending and fitting.

Type4Store solid rocker shaft spacers.

Empi breather box

Winterburn CD Ignition box. Using stock points.

Aircooled.Net anti-pulse valve (visible near passenger side carb)

Runs pretty good after some time getting the jetting correct. Probably should have kept the FI, but that is a story for another day.
