Description
It’s a pretty well-known fact that the best way to rebuild a VW engine is to start with a well-outfitted rebuild kit. When you purchase rebuild kit, all of the parts are matched to correspond with each other. This removes a lot of the doubt that all of the components you are acquiring will indeed work together to achieve the results you are looking for.
A good engine rebuild kit certainly gets you pointed in the right direction. But you will still need to have a certain amount of machine work done to your case to insure that all of your kit parts will work flawlessly with your case. It is a good idea to check with your machinist so you will know to what size your line-bore is.
All of So. Cal.’s engine kits include the following components: Piston & cylinder kit, new crankshaft, new connecting rods, new lifters, connecting rod bearings, camshaft bearings, pushrod tubes, oil pump, oil screen, gasket set, flywheel seal and cam plug.
