ready to roll

[img][/img]got to admit its getting better ready to cruise it hope to see you all around[img][/img]

I see IMG tags but no pics!!

tried to post pics to big will post later.. tearing down the engine so its back to the jack stands for this old bug ..hope for the best, but the diagnosis seems to be terminal..any one no of a cheap 1200 around

Ouch, what happened? What kind of 1200 are you looking for (25 horse, 36 horse, 40 horse)?

looking for a 40 had it running on the road missed a few meets w/ the Blitzkrieg Aces trying to get it right.. thought all was well drove to cartersville to sell my sprint stars went on to work(been doing a lot lately and im greatful) left for home after 3rd 9 miles down the road met up w/ a slight grade and dat dat dat dat dat shut it down called the wrecker tore it down rod n main bearings gone gone crank not salvagable and rebuilding it is not an option at this time herrell s can get most what i need @6-700 then linebore such an such looking at 12-1400 for rebuild ..just want to find something to roll with as I'm still 6v..

Ouch. Sorry bout that man. do ya know exactly what happened? oil pump failure? I can't see how the rod, AND main bearings could have both crapped out, unless the pump crapped out, or the main oil passage comming from the pump got clogged somehow (or you ran out of oil). I'm guessing the case is still good. anyhoo, Sorry to hear that.

Even tho its been on the back burner for a while now, i've been wanting to build me a 40 horse. usually one of the most stout motors VW ever made. So i'm hoping mine will last when i build it (with 20 lbs of boost 8P)

good luck bro.

i can read that mike haha

if you can find a used 1600you can put it in there an a rod or a main bearing could have went out and that would have keeped oil from getting to the other
