Hi Netters
I have a type 4 complete engine with every thing but the starter on it, I
have stripped all the tin and aluminum castings off, it turns over very easily
and has oil in the crank case I feel the crank and cam are still fine. It
has a nice header type exhaust( one on each side).
Hi Netters,
I have a complete type 4 VW engine it has screw on oil
filter,alternator,dual port intake manifolds, and header type exhaust manifold.
Turns over freely,
I removed about a 100 lbs of tin and exhaust pipes w/ heater tubes inside.
email me off line if interested.

Here's a question for the net. I looked in the archive for info on epoxy
shelf life, but didn't find much. My concern is knowing that the epoxy is safe
to
use or not. I purchased all the materials to build my KR2 in '97 and that gave
me a lot of time for the epoxy to sit. I have completed the
I've been using resin from 1980 or before.
I am using new catalyst. The resin is Safetypoxy brand by Hexel.

I think this is a case of what you feel comfortable with as there are pros and
cons to any debate on this subject. You would always be wondering whether you
should have bit the bullet and bought new resin or not, it may work out and it
may not. Maybe the thing to do is experiment with what you

Hi Mike,
I've posted this before (twice already!)
This is what you can seemingly do with the type IV. Weight should be a little
over 200 lbs. My type IV without any manifolds, flywheel, starter, altenator,

Hi, Mike.
My (very biased) advice is: if you can locate a Type 4, forget the Types
1, 2 and 3. The Type 4 is an extensive redesign, solved most of the
reliability problems of the preious ones, the case was built in a better
alloy. Only problem is to find one, because much less Type 4

cases, but I don't know if he actually provides the service or not.
