VW Bug 2110cc Stroker Engine First Start, Initial Break In

This is the first start of my 2110cc engine that I built from scratch for my '57 oval rag top bug. It couldn't have gone any better, and sounds awesome! Here are the engine specs:
- 150 HP
- 82mm forged chromoly counter weighted and balanced crank
- 5.4" forged chromoly I-beam rods
- straight cut cam gears
- Eagle street race cam
- Mahle big bore pistons, 90.5mm
- CNC wedge ported heads, 42mm x 37.5mm stainless valves
- dual Weber 44mm IDF carbs, with velocity stacks and jetted for 5000 ft. elevation
- match ported big beef manifolds
- Ceramic 1 5/8" A1 sidewinder header exhaust system, with heater boxes
- lightened flywheel, 12 lbs.
- stage 1 Kennedy pressure plate, with dual friction clutch
- Magnaspark II electronic ignition distributor, 8.2 mm spark plug wires
- full flow oiling system with external oil filter and sump, 6 qt. oil (stock is 2.75 qt)
- 9:1 compression
- all engine tin installed, working thermostat even!
- light weight lifters
- welded and balanced fan
- Gene Berg breather
- Bernie Bergmann linkage
Normally one would have to remove the spark plugs and crank, crank, crank to build up oil pressure before starting. I used an external oil pump to prime the oil system, so I had instant oil pressure :)

I had a 69 back in the 80s and then another 69 in the 90s. I really miss those cars. Love working on them and fixing them up. Love their sound too. So much fun to drive.

Congrats on successful first start. Noticed you had a fire extinguisher close just for safety, don't see that much anymore. Also, you had ear protection!!! You obviously have built/worked on load engines in the past. It really suck to not be able to hear and have a pounding head ache at the end of day :) Love to see your '57 oval when it turns a wheel on the street. Thanks for posting!!!

I'd so love to find an oval to lavish my love and savings onto, and build the most killer 2332 for! even though EFI makes more power, there's nothing like the sound of a pair opf 48mm webers working hard on top of a high revving air cooled

Love it. Just after putting my 1641 back in and going through the same process, she is all dialled in now and purring away. However i have done an oilchange and found a bit of metal in the tub. So i changed it once more and now i will have to drive her for about 1200km, as i am moving and the bug is the first to move. So i am hoping it was residual stuff and a little bit of material from breaking in and its fine. But i will release the oil on arrival and investigate...hope you have better luck, its a sweet car.

Have to get up early :(. Impressed my friend! I'm a mechanical guy and do all my own Chevy truck work, and love pro audio, but I know nothing about vw! Always wanted to know how the old vw engines worked. Still don't understand the engine cooling and the cabin heater! Cool. Love it.

Good morning Willie ... This is a long shot ...but ...do you still have this bug and can you comment on the engine's performance over time ... This is one of the smoothest running home built engines I've heard in awhile ...Did you build it from a kit or sourced your own parts combos ??? Are your heater boxes stock?? Why the Bernie Bergman linkage??? It looks like the Gene Berg linkage, are they the same??

I once drove a 72 super beetle through the Mojave desert in 120 degree heat driving 60+ mph. When I arrived in Hunington beach California I checked my oil and to my surprise I had no oil in the engine. I walked a few blocks and bought 4 quarts of oil and put it in and I really thought my engine was done for but I never noticed any damage what so ever. Could a expert explain to me why my motor did not burn out while driving with no oil?

@concernedpatriot3618 7 жыл бұрын

timothy svec at least $5,000 on the motor build! Unless you can do it all yourself it would save you some on labor just price the parts all the parts required to build the motor that would be your hard costs! Remember to add oil spark plugs and spark plug wires those cost money also

Do they make self-adjusting valves for air cooled VolksWagens? I t seems like a hassle to me if every time you do a tune up you have to adjust the valves.

@jeronchatman1519 2 жыл бұрын

You don't want self adjusters on a V-Dub. Solid lifters equal more power. After a few times you get the hang of adjusting them. A labor of love!

I was under the impression that when running in an engine its best to vary the engine speed. Did something change?

@Bandit-10-4 4 жыл бұрын

Yes you're under a slight misunderstanding when you initially start an engine the first 20 minutes it's crucial to maintain a steady rev of about 2000 to bed the cam and the lifters in after that when driving for the first couple of thousand miles it's a bad idea to sit on 1 RPM you should vary your rev range to bed the Rings and crank in at varying rep Ranges and lobes so there you go

Wow impressive HP! Not a car guy so could you tell me if this engine is still air cooled, any ECU system, and what estimated gas mileage is? Just curious if this kind of engine could have been made in the past instead of the typical dinky 40-60hp engines the original bugs had, or if you have some modern engineering that would have made that impossible for the time.

Solid lifters, I'm not a fan of hydraulic personally. The valves were a tad loose when I readjusted, but nothing out of the ordinary for the initial break in process.
