Nothing to do with me, but saw this ad and thought it might be of interest on here. NOS vw type 4 motors, look like they were for industrial use but could be re-purposed to go back into a bus. https://www.bugbus.net/de/classifieds.html?cmd=detail&id=30533&cat_id=65
It's what I have in mine and I think @nicktuft. @snotty you tempted? If I had some spare folding I think I would be interested in a spare.
Did you buy one of the VW Heritage ones when they were flogging them? Always kicked myself for not buying one.
No it came out of a T25. I bought it off a breaker/spares guy from Preston. If you remember PO had wired the reg wrong and I was getting 17v to the battery.
I bought one of the heritage ones...it looked like an old engine after changing over the 12v electrics, fan shroud and old tinware etc. I’ve attached a a couple of pics of before and after a little tidying...
Dipstick is in a funny place. Where would you get one as cu have a long one and CJ short but goes in through the fan housing ??
Indeed it does but is best accessed through the engine inspection lid. Oil filling is a bit awkward but doable.
Oh right yeah, I dunno to be honest. If anyone buys one of these engines without one, I can measure up my stick for them
