1300 to 1600

I have my engine rebuilt and I would like to show you some pictures of it, but I
don’t have any website right now to put them :-( (Mine was closed)

It was an AB engine (1300 DP) until last month.It was rebuild stock but 1600 during
the last 4 weeks.
The case was split and the crankshaft was ok. It wasn’t necessary to re-ground it
so I only had to replace the following

1- A new stock camshaft. The old camshaft was completely worn. The lobe was 1.6mm
shorter
2- New oil pump
3- New lifters
4- New bearings
5- New pushrod tubes
6- Crankshaft oil seal
7- New (used) camshaft gear
8- New (used) distributor drive worm gear
9- New set of 1600 pistons and cylinder
10- New (used) 1600 manifold (the pre heater pipe is blocked)
11- New (used) 34-Pict 3 Solex carb
12- New gaskets screws and washers
13- The head were open to 1600 bore
14- New valve adjust screws and locknuts
15- New fan belt
16- New clutch

The electric parts were new and I had already fitted a Pertronix ignition on the
distributor

Everything was assembly and today it fired up for the first time. There was an oil
leak on one pushrod tube that will be fixed.

The cooling flaps and the thermostat are back to the cooling system. The guy that
is rebuilding it told me that was the first engine that is was rebuilding a engine
keeping flaps and the thermostat on the last 15 years…so I had to convince him to
put them back. The engine will be putted back on the car maybe tomorrow I can’t
wait to drive it. This car was bought by my father 33 years ago for about 380 euros
and I spend a little more than that only to rebuild the engine.

Hi,

I drove it today for the 1 time and it runs very well...
It's a different beetle. I didn't pass the 120Km/h (75 miles/h) because it only
have 100km (62 miles) since rebuilt.
The engine was rebuilt after reading a lot of post here with different opinion.
I think this is the best engine I could rebuild for my beetle.

Thanks
Joao
