 |
|
So the 1600 I got in my old bug is actually a 1776! PO said it was a 1600 and it had a itty bitty 30/31 carb on it. Felt slow as hell so i thought it was for sure a 1600. Pulled the motor and it sat for 4 years. Tonight I pulled the heads and started scraping away the carbon. Saw that the pistons were stamped 90.43 and had the Mahle symbol. WooHoo! After clearing the grease and grime I saw these stamps...
Any idea what the 10-100 means? anyone know of a builder that stamps thier cases like this? I haven't seen any GEX stamps so I think I am in the clear. Any help would be appreciated. |

GEX is too cheap to stamp their cases. they just put a sticker on it.

| Lol...I thought the 10 100 might be an indication of the Cam or something. I guess I will pull the oil pump and see. |

Maybe that means it's a piss poor build? |

Pull it down....
I recently tore into a 1776 and on first inspection saw some 1.4 rockers. I thought cool!! this thing must be something.....WRONG.
the 1.4 rockers were to compensate for the almost flat cam!!!!! POS!!!
With Vw's you never know.
