Engine weekend

This weekend i have been working on serveral Volkswagen engines.
On Friday, Morten and I started to assemble his T1 engine for his buggy.
On Saturday I picked up some parts that my brothers girlfriend brought from Serranos VW Speedshop in Torrance, CA. Thanks Kris and Louise!
I started to assemble my 71 mm x 94 mm type 4 engine. Ingana in Valby ballanced and gave my rods new bushings. I stripped the crank and cleaned it up and gave it new bearings. Then I mounted the new bearings in the rods and got them installed. The case got new dowelpins and mainbearings, but when I had to put in the cam bearings I figured out that I had to pairs of rodbearings and no cambearings.
I hope that I will have enough time to close the shortblok this week.
Late Saturday evening I went by Niklas. Niklas has a 61 ragtop and we are going to build a 68 mm x 94 mm type 1 engine. Again we disassemblied his crank and we are now waiting for parts and crankcase.
