Type 4 rebuild

  1. It's getting near to my type 4 engine rebuild time, so was wondering on opinion of parts quality and who sells the best or has had good results with which brand, I'm thinking new barrels and pistons etc may go for upgraded flat top high compression pistons for a little more oomph, advice on piston/ barrel quality and supplier would be grand!!
    Thanks.
     
  2. I've just rebuilt my type 4, I went for all the top parts where I could. Top tip, I bought Pistons from gsf, they were mahle forged high compression, they do a 35% sale, I saved a load. I also bought AMC heads from them, sometimes the valves seats use to fail but they have sorted that now. Again with the 35% sale

    I went to see james at state side tuning, although expensive, he knows his stuff

    If you need any help, or parts, ease feel free to drop me a line
     
  3. Hi thanks for your advice, I will be ordering from Gsf then, I suppose it's better to use genuine oil seal for the crankshaft etc. can't wait to get cracking, just need to get the body done.
