| "Bore For 94's" 
 
 Here are some pics of how I do it.
 
 Some people just bore the hole for the barrel
 right down to the bottom... with a sharp tool.
 
 If it does not break through behind #3
 it will most likely crack (from the sharp corner) at some point soon.
 
 Some people do not "deck" the barrel face either.
 
 My first step is to spot face the case savers
 so they will not lift the barrel at all, when the head nuts are tensioned.
 I spot face them about .010" below the proposed final deck.
 
 
  
 
  
 I then "deck the case" ...usually about .070", to make sure that ALL four will clean up
 and have a nice flat surface for the barrel to sit on.
 
 
  
 All surfaces must be at the same height from the crankshaft centreline.
 
 
  
 First step is for piston clearance,
 and second step locates the barrel.
 
 Before decking #3, I press in a sleeve
 on top of the 'deep' top case saver,
 to get a bit more support.
 See the top stud hole closest to the FW.
 
 
  
 By doing the bore and deck in one machine setting
 you know that they are dead square.

 You will note that the decking process is only removing just enough material for the barrel to sit on.
 
 
  
 Also note that I have used a nice large radius in the corners. (3mm radius)
 Going to a larger bore,
 is a good way to remove he sharp corners that are there from the VW factory.
 Sharp corners are a good place for cracks to start,
 so it is good to get rid of them.
 
 
  
 Doing the job properly takes twice as long as boring the hole straight to the bottom,
 with no steps , radii, or decking.
 But it will give your engine a good base for a better lifespan

 I don't do it for anybody, it takes too long.
 I am currently doing it on my big lathe,
 so all the studs and oil suction pipe need to be removed.
 
 I am saving up for a milling machine, may be then...prob about .....?

 Dave well done as usual.
 
 Not trying to steal any thunder, but if anyone wants this done, I (and probably Dave too) can organise it in Bris. Cost runs around $220- $270.
 
 As a comparison, a less perfecto job may be around $120

 as a reference Stan Pobjoy charges $122 ($156 for an Aluminium case)for this work.....with the step bore, radius corners and the faces machined (and
yes its perfect!)
 
 If anyone is getting this type of work done, then make sure you use a trained machinist that knows what they are doing.(and yes Dave is trained!)

 I think these prices may have changed now.
 See the PDF attachment that Craig posted, for the latest prices.

 You need to add the bore AND deck price if you want a case bored for 94's.
 
 129 + 89= $218
 plus if you need case savers add that too, +$149.

 This is nearly 4 years ago.
 I have had my milling machine for a while now, so dont use the lathe any more.
 
 Who ever people get to do their case machining,
 ask them to use a radius tool (minimum 2 mm radii),
 spot face the case savers just below the final deck,
 and sleeve the #3 deep stud hole
 to help support that thin web that is left when boring for 94's.
