Just starting up this topic to share photos of my engine build and ask questions as I run into problems. This is a 2276 that is going to have a German EFI and megasquirt from Mario Velotta
and a turbo.


Here's a few pictures of the clearanced AS41 Brazilian magnesium case,





Cheers

Clearanced the cam bearing for the oil galley

From this

Looking forward to this

while your in the case tap it for 3/8" npt

Hey Mario

Thanks for the picture. I think I could tap the coverplate in the same location on my as41 case. It blocks off the type 3 oil filler location. Is this for controlling your oil cooler fan?

Heres some more pictures of my modified cam bearings for dual thrust and some of the cam and original Volkswagen cam gear +-O.

I did mine like you are thinking. Let's you change your mind later if you do like it.

It will work for the oil cooler fan but most important your warm up enrichment.

Cleaned the crank and loctite the oil hole plugs.







Bearings and spacers cleaned



Heating up the gears

Whose crank did you go with?

It has an EMPI stamp on it, but I think it is similar to many being sold from China.

My god, at this pace you'll be up and running in a few days!

Nice clean build so far.
