    Clever tip on painting the bearings to check the passages. Taking notes!

      If the holes don’t line up, that’s an issue. This is the easiest way I’ve found to verify this problem. I’m sure there’s other ways but this way works for me.

    Oil pump was a great tip. I have a oil pump that leads to a external filter. When I put the pump in to check it. It was hitting the cam bolts. So I changed the bolts and it sill hit. I ended up thinking I put the pump together wrong. After checking that I had installed the gear that doesn't engage the the cam to turn the pump backwards. Flipped it and problem solved.
    If I hadn't watched this before building my first motor I would have probably broke it at start up.

    I’m putting my 2332 together and can only find stock cam specs, thanks

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  3 года назад

      With the double thrust cam bearings you have to wet sand then down some or the cam will bind when in place which will cause cam bearing failure.
      I set the cam clearance the same for straight cut gears as for the stock gears, just a few thousandths.

    • @VWJawbreaker

      The most accurate way is to use a dial bore gauge and a micrometer…..
      I don’t have those so yes, I use plastigauge on all of the mains and rod bearings. I like to know what I’m working with, I just don’t show some of those tedious steps on camera.

    It looks like your #3 connecting rod is a touch tight. It seems to be the only rod that doesn't fall freely like the others when you rotate the engine in the video. I am about to assemble my engine and I am wondering if this is something to be concerned about. I saw another video where they talked about this very issue and how to fine tune the bearing fitment so that it doesn't pinch the rod.

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  4 года назад

      It can be an “issue” so to speak, it’s like an ocd problem.... dialing in all of those little details. I did go back and adjust and tweak that rod so it fell like the others. Something about the I beam rods from AA, they seem to fight me a little more than others.

      The 1915 was great for the short time it was in the car. The reason I pulled it was due to a case machine issue that arose after it was in the car. Decided to get a new case and an upgraded crank. Could have went with a 76mm with the non stroker pistons that I had but the 74mm was in stock.
