Guys,

Do you have any recommedations for crank and rod rebuilding (specifically T4) in the GTA .. Looking at Beatty and Woods but not convinced they are the right guys to go to ?

Thanks

Greetings Sandeep

If all you are looking for is "someone" to rebuild, machine
and or balance crank and rods, then Beatty Woods would
be fine since engine machine work is their specialty and they
have great experience and history. (You just need to give
them the specs you want and details of work to be done)

BUT if you need saomeone to re-assemble and "build" the
engine then maybe you should be looking to Mark Henry or
others with specific experience in VW/Porsche type IV.
Then again you could always do it yourself !

Allan Mayhew

PS. When is that Bug coming to a Solo 1 event ??
(still sorting out my 914 - V8)

What is it that you need?

Clean-up of the journals? resize? size for bearings? build motor? balance?

Thanks for the reply Allan.

When I found out I had a loose intake seat on #3, I decided to take the bug off the road for this summer and rebuild the engine ... I was planning on doing this winter 2006-2007 anyways.

I totally dis-assembled the engine and found out during measuring, that the rod journals on the crank are really close to being worn and may need to be cut for next undersize. The main journals and the case mains are all within spec ... not sure why it is only the rod journals that are worn.

The rods need to be re-bushed as the piston pin falls through the small end of the rod under its own weight. I also want to have the big end cut for a dodge SRT-4 bearing instead of the T4 bearing as I want to run about 16-18 psi for the street next year. ARP BBC rod bolts will be fitted as well ... I want to make this rod bulletproof.

I will assemble the engine as I beleive I am capable of doing it, and there are no trick parts that I am using.

The heads will be sent off to HAM INC for new 42x38 valves and some "turbo tricks".

I'll be soloing with you Allan next year for sure ... let me know when your next outing is and I will try and join you.

talk to Jeff at Beatty and Woods, as I have said before, they are the ones who do the machine work for Mantis. They took along time to build my long block, but in the end they gave it to me for cost (Less than half the original quote). I respect people who admit their mistakes. I have not doubt that my engine was built properly and the machine work was top notch.

I have a work bench full of nice shiny machined parts from Beatty & Woods

Looks like I can start assembling my engine now.

I stumbled on this place called Turbo Masters right around the corner from B&W ... They sell, service and remanufacture all kinds of turbo's .. they had some LARGE truck turbos in the front room ... could fit them into a wheelbarrow

It looks like I will be taking my TD04 to them for some custom work ... Amer Kunda is the person I spoke to, he said they will use the guts of the TD04 to make a custom turbo for the boost pressure I want to run, and the spool up characteristics I want. should be an interesting spring 2007
