HVX MODS on big-bore strokers by
Bob Hoover[_2_]
To All:
Oil for the right-hand half of the crankcase arrives there via the
channel behind the #2 cam bearing. When building a high-reliability
engine a standard procedure is to increase the cross-sectional area of
that narrow channel.
While this improves things, the amount of oil that can reach...

Midnight Repairs (2017) by

He came down the back drive just before midnight on Christmas Eve. I was
out in the shop, about to call it a night when I heard the unmistakable
sound of a Volkswagen running on three cylinders. Bad valve.
It was an early model high-roof delivery van. Bright red with white
trim. He pulled up...

'74 Super Beetle - Bad ignition switch? by
[email protected]
My 1974 super is having problems where the car starts and runs just fine but none of my accessories work. I sometimes works if I jiggle the key in the ignition. Would this be caused by a bad ignition switch? Accessories include headlights, radio, windshield wipers, fresh air defrost and rear window...

Tire Pressure by
Lynn Martin
I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on
the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle.
Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire
pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear
29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

Can I get my 1600i (MexiBeetle) bored to 1.8 or 2 liters? by
elzopi
I need to rebuild my engine as it has low compression and I am exploring getting a 1.8 or 2 liter kit.
My main concern is if the intake will match the new cylinders intake.
Another concern would be if my EFI will handle the additional fuel needs of a bored engine.
Thanks

John[_28_]
After running around town in 43 Deg C temps the T3 refused to restart. Turns
out to be Vapour Lock due to heat. Car was
got going by pressurising fuel tank. It occurred to me though that if the
mechanical fuel pump was replaced by an electric one at front of car
the problem would be solved....
