CBB didn't build the engine that's in but they are willing to tune it for me.

Can not wait to get it back and see how it goes after a tune.it went well on Sunday but does seem to get a bit more fuel than needed down low.

Got an email back from mike. Need to talk to him tomorrow.

Car is apparently low on power for the capacity.(feeling low myself now).

1 Spark plugged completey fouled. Replaced a base gasket on the carbies.

Hopefully the news is better than what i think.

2332cc which is what it is ment to be according to guy I bought it from.

Mike did a lot of work to get as much out of the car as possible and could only manage 110 @ the wheels.

Hopefully he will find why it's low and fix it for me.

There are a few other things that will get done at the same time.

Now I am really looking forward to getting the car back as I thought it went well before.

What are the specs on the engine?
110hp at the wheels is quite okay if it is a mild engine.

^^^^ agreed

Mild cam, non-worked heads and low CR will produce those sort of figures
110 ponies at the wheels with a heap of torque is a lot of fun

If you thought it went well , why pull it apart ??? are you after a bigger HP number.:😊
I hope you don't miss out on to many vw runs while shes in the shop.
ps While the motors out get the clutch checkd and you better give the brakes a look at and change the brake fluid

Okay with wedge ports and FK87 you would expect a bit higher number (maybe 130-140's)
What carbs or injection and exhaust/muffler?

The carbies are 48's

He said he would expect 130 - 140 at the wheels. So hopefully this is where we will get close to.

There are no lash caps and the rod have no adjustment on them, plus a few other things.

Found out that there was not engine mounts in either so having those put in.

Hopefully I don't miss out on many cruises.

The old compression was 7.9:1
The aim was to go for around 10:1 this time around
Had to replace a lot of parts inside I'll update later when back on the computer

anyway some on the parts that had to be replaced are below

84mm CB Race Crank
Std Main Bearing
Chevy Big End Brgs
Double thurst CAm Bearing
Long Barrels
CB Cam
Adjustable cam gear (I chose not to go with the straight cuts)

Hi Paul,

It might hurt now but I think it would have hurt more had I been driving the car and something happened.

at least now I know what I have got for sure.

Mike @ CBB has been great, and has made me feel at ease with everything and that i am going to get an engine that suits what I want it for and have some power there.

Its a shame that I have a family day on Sunday the 3rd otherwise i would have done the Bug & Bus show up the central coast.

I will now have to keep an eye out for the next thing that is on and get out and meet some people and enjoy the car.


Hi Klaus,

I'll find out on Thursday what is happening to the old parts.

I'll keep you posted.
