Inching forward
I am fighting my way forward on my 2.4L type 4 build. I had to spend more time than normal to fit many parts and spent more time than normal waiting for parts but it is moving forward.
I had a few days off and fitted my DTM. I ended up having to mill near 1/8 inch off the bottom of the alternator stand to get the alternator to sit true and the fan/backing plate to sit properly in the opening. Now I need to get the linkage built. I have one set of center pull linkage but I have had problems with this brand in the past so I am going to try a different center pull rather than use a crossbar set up. Anyway here is what is in it. GA case DPR 82mm crank 96mm KB piston/Bored OE cylinders CB H beam rods Web 119/163 cam w/Jakes lifters Manton push rods Porsche 2L heads worked by Len Hoffman (all the tricks in his bag) Mallory Unilight dizzy w/6LA Hyfire and E-coil 45mm Dellorto DRLA's (for now) Kennedy Flywheel (12 lb.), Press plate and disc Home Built Exhaust (not shown) I built an engine run stand to break it in on.

Rest up Laz. I know my dizzy is in good hands. You needed to use it after what happened to yours. Glad I could find you another at the swap meet.
I am waiting on a linkage set so sit on a bag of frozen peas, take a pain killer and rest up.

I am looking at your head cc information and i am seeing 59cc for one head and 56cc for the other is this correct, isn't this going to pose a problem for you when you try to tune it. By the way nice setup this engine should be nice. Saw on jake's site where he did a 2.4ltr also with a 84mm crank and some 5.9inch rods. The engine made 220HP. Are you using 5.5inch rods on your 82mm crank. |

the final camber volume was 54cc for all 4. The sharpie notes were left on along the way. I should have hit them with some brake part cleaner. My rods are 5.7 with chevy main journals.

O.k. great, your rod ratio is 1.76 : 1, good. How wide is the engine? I know for a stock type 1 engine the measurement from the crank center to connecting rod pin center is 211mm. I can't remember if the type 4 is 207mm or 209mm.
So is your engine wider than a stock t4 engine. |

Yes it is wider than stock. I forget how much shim I have under each cylinder. I have it writen in my notes but I am at work right now. It is somewere close to .100" per jug. There is no step in the heads so that ads to the shim size too.

I was able to modify a Scat linkage kit and fab a bracket to mount the center bellcrank to. It looks like it should function better than the other dog legged center pull linkage I have and look cleaner than the hex bar set I have.
I also relocated my center console and fitted the new Bug Tech shifter. I got the engine up on the test stand but when I went to mount the exhaust, it hits the stand frame. I will have to pull the engine back off and re-engineer the test stand frame. That will have to wait as I am back to work tomorrow and then off to Mexico again for a relaxing week in the lap of luxury before Herbie X comes back to us for some upgrades.

Well I fired it up today and went thru the first 30 minute nail chewing break-in run. the right side carb needs some work but I was not going to stop the break-in for it. I just shut it down and it is cooling off. I will have a look at the lifters after it is good and cooled down. Might bolt on another good set of 45 dells I have before running it again.
It was one of the longest 30 minutes I have been thru.

I hear you about the nail-biting....
I just broke in my 1915, with straight-cuts and dual springs. And some really sketchy/questionable 1.4 roller rockers. The racket this thing makes is amazing! Especially inside the garage... Hearing all of these rattles and clanks and knocks makes you want to shut it down... But you can't. It needs to break in(!) |
