looking for a vw, either stock or built.( nothing that a 3 rib cant handle). thanks

Friend of mine has a complete 1915 that needs freshened up. Ran all season, never had to change a spark plug.
You want I'll check on it.

You didnt buy the one off packrat2056?

I bought everything off of him but the motor. Mike by freshened up you mean?

i have a great running 1600 that smokes a little and has only 3/4 inch end play thats off the buggy now

Just wondering why not the motor?

I think you better put her down!!!!!!

yeah I pulled a valve cover and saw that the heads were Mofoco 042s so the price went up a little

should have went down, MOFOCO=MOF*CKINJUNK

The crank has a little more end lash than it should, freshened up bottom end at least.

buddy has a couple of them on shelf. anything from stock 1600 to a really nice 2180 thats all new. he is in the warren ohio area. i will pm you his number

Pak Rat 2056,
I hope you were joking about Mofoco, If you have Mofoco heads then the spark plugs need indexed because they are not drilled and tapped to the same depth because the quality is that poor. I saw a "freshly rebuilt 6 rib" from Mofoco in November, it was PURE TRASH. It is sad to see people selling this crap. In my area, Mofoco parts are worth about half what scrap is selling for. Seriously Mofoco parts are that bad.
Good Luck
Kenric

my two other motors are fitted with CB 044s the engine I would like to sell has mofocos yes I heard they are not great quality but they were on the car when I got it, it does run very good for a small cc motor and mofocin junk heads are better then no mofocin heads at all!

i agree with donnie , this is all mofocun crazyness !! thats so fun to say mofucas

i was just voicing my opinion on the heads, I had a set destroy a brand new motor.

I'm in Zeeland MI 49464 and have a 1776 that will need to be assemblied. Thanks Dave T , , , .

dave, dont think im experienced or familiar enough with vw engines yet to build one from scratch. Id like to get one thats running or atleast fully assembled. I would be overwhelmed with just a box of parts .
thanks, nick

3/4 end play?? fill me in on this please. little bit of smoke never hurt nobody

Does that mean I would need to get a new crank? or what causes that?

Needs new main bearings. I know almost nothing about VW motors, nor do I want to. This motor has about .035 end lash, that means the thrust bearing is wiped out, again I'm guessing. On a VW that still might be fine IDK.
Motor is complete with Mesa oil cooler, single Webber, 090 dizy, remote filter, Kennedy stage 2 PP, fuel pump and if you want it can have a power steering pump and stuff with it.

so .o35 is too much endlash? i did some investigating and if that is so, then the main bearing dowpin can oval out the dowpin hole and then the case is trashed. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes good endplay is like .003 to .006 the case will probably need to be machined. read this.

i was just playin around my motor was pushin oil out of every hole and smokin real bad the last ride it would need split and case done and bearings and rings to be correct ! i would ck into mikes freind jimmys 1915 and see what he wants it was a good runnin engine ! his screen name is jrk and he is a pa boy ( raadeator)

good reference, sounds like a hassle to check it, is this something that happens often?
