Sword makers in the middle ages would quench their swords in urine to make them stronger.
Urine has high levels of ammonia which contains nitrogen....Nitriding!🤪

I thought it had a non stock cam?LIFE IN THE LOW LANE wrote:365 000k's on that engine when i dropped a valve. case hasn't been split since it was built. All I did was repair the damaged head and replace exhaust valves, one damaged piston and rings.dangerous wrote:LIFE IN THE LOW LANE wrote:365 000k's,
good one brennden.
"i rebuilt it five times but its got 365k on the speedo".
My white beetle has more miles on it than that.
"and I have never split the case"
Just like the old axe.
Its had five handles and five heads,
but it is still the same axe.
😂
So in my books it is STILL the same engine as all i have done was repair the damage. If it had a total rebuild then it would be a new engine so obviously that isn't the case.....

We built a new 1600c engine back in 93 for our beetle and it has done 185,000 since then and is going great still. At the 155k mark, we restored the car but the engine only had the heads tidied up a bit and that was it.typethreeking wrote:365000km since the car came out of the factory maybe, if you could get that many k's out of a volkys motor you would probably be the only person on earth, 165000km is more like it...

365 000k's on that cam since it was ground. All the rods are the rods that were put in it when it was rebuilt and are the original rods from that engine in the car. 3 of the 4 pistons are the pistons that were put in it when it was rebuilt waaaay back in about 1995. The heads are the same heads ported that were put on the engine when it was built. One of the heads is off the original motor out of my bus and one is an AMC to replace the original one that was destroyed when it dropped a valve at 100km'hr with 1600 gearing.
The original engine out of my bus when it finally died was all original. VW rings, pistons, valves etc etc. All the rods,crank, case and one of the heads are all the original engine. Cam was a new billet grind when the engine was first built.
When i was detailing I was averaging 1000-1200km's a week. Oil changes were about every 4-5 weeks.
And yes as Troy said it copped a fair hiding most of it's life whilst lugging around all my detailing gear hence why I am a fan of the type 4 engine.....
