Aircooled VW South Africa

033?

Are you 33 years old or born in 1933?

Doesn't matter.What matters is the first 4 digits.

nice one

Chris did you manage to get a motor, i still have the twin port in my garage, not sure of what else you gonna do, have you made a decision on the blue buggy motor ??????sorry i cant help im at work !!

Will see what happens today.A friend of mine that does great work on rebuilding engines has got the engine now to see what is wrong with it.

Hopefully it will run by tomorrow,will see.

Hey Chris, I like, very nice.

Side note: its Monday 31st, at about 4pm.....and Chris is stuck next to the freeway, sadly another one bites the dust. How unlucky can this engine be???

The number plate... if you stretch the imagination, (not too far... Vader), it reads 'sucker'. Well to me anyways...

Thanks Thumper.

Yes,I must be a sucker!

Engine no 3 has just seen it's arse.Enough is enough,I'm fitting a Toyota engine now!

Stopped on my way home along the N2 to tow Chris home, unfortunatly i have a bus in my garage to get on its wheels and cant help !!

Ag nee man!!

What are you transporting with that SC? must be some seriously HEAVY stuff. Maybe the cooling tin or something is wrong? What happened this time?

Engine siezed again

I don't know what the hell is going on.The tin is tight,so is the timing and it get enough air.I don't over rev it and only do 80km/h.

I give up.

Could a fault in the gearbox cause this kind of engine failure?
I would also give up, but the thought of the toyota motor! no Chris, say it isn't so

I just can't have it standing.If it stands,I don't earn money,something I can't afford at the moment.

At least with the Toyota engine I know it will be reliable.

Does it not need lots of adapters, radiator piping etc, or is that easier than it sounds?
