Good morning fellow dubbers!
In a pickle and i'm stuck inbetween two frames of mind. Practical longevity Chris says save up for a Aluminium case while tight arse Chris says use the already line-bored dual relief magnesium stock case for his new blinging bits to assemble a 2054cc turbo short block.
Online, every vw parts supplier offers magnesium cases still (from what i found), and all the vw parts mobs locally offer case machining/line boring. Yet there are strong opinions against the reuse/refurbishment of magnesium cases which people like Gene berg and the fellas from aircooled.net dead against it, labelling them as disposable.
What you rekon?
Would hate to build a motor and be failed by a cracked case with a short lifespan, but whats the chances?
Just bite the bullet save the coffers? Or you gotta be significantly unlucky?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
