you guys are replying to a 2005 topic :P
Heh, maybe you're gonna wake the guy up, who knows :)

Wake me up??? I have checked out each comment here religeously. Maybe I should post some pics of my 2332 engine build? What you guys say

Bwahahahahaha!

hehe I'd like that for sure :righton:

:o :D

:angry: Pleease post some pics:p

OK guys, maybe I should add a few pics of my build....
It is taking me a lot longer than planned purely because I work in Europe and the car stands in South Africa. I only get to work on it a few weeks per year.

MY main thread (its a bit of a social thread) can be found at http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewt...hp?f=23&t=4515

Here are a few pics for the meantime....

I have not driven it yet because I didnt have brakes and ran out of time before needing to come back to work

A lot of those parts looks really familiar... :D My motor shares a lot of the same pieces by the look of it, what are the specs? It definitely sounds mean, too bad you didn't get a chance to drive it.

84x94, 9.9:1 CR, Web 86B, 44x38 valves, 044s, 48IDFs, 1.05mm deckheight, ceramic coated pistons and combustion chambers, thermal dispersant on barrels and heads, 13lb flywheel, low angle helical cam gear. A few more bells and whistle too.

I was origianlly going to build it with 5.325" rods, but wasnt happy with the clearance between the rod cap and the piston, so went for 5.5" rods.
