CT Engine Restoration

Ok found a place that does new CT camshafts in Holland. But they want 225 Euros. Id rather run the risk with my old one.

"oooooh das ist paintested"

Now gotta figure out where all the bits go remember to line up the bearing stud locating pins in the cases with the holes in the bearings

Yer, this is where it all goes wrong? BTW dont put your cylinders through the dishwasher, say no more.

The only catch I can see is that the VAGCAT website states the part number is 025 109 015 and their site is listed as 113 109 021 G! I am trying to find out if the "113 109 021 G" part number is a beetle part or if it's from a later CT or a CZ - there were 2 types of CT engine and the very nearly identical CZ engine also existed too....




E D I T.....



They also have rebuild kits....
Pistons/Barrels/Heads and pushrod tubes...

hmmm..... looks like a beetle cam......
http://www.vwheritage.com/vwh/VW-Beetle ... lateID=vwh these have the early and late beetle cams on their site.....

Give some substance to the theory you can use beelte cams in these engines when in these busses

The expert at VW heritage, says the profle of the cam is different if you have hydraulic lifters. I really hope hes wrong.

Good find, having looked into the site alot of things are really cheap, some not.

That should suit me as I have solid lifters into my 1776..

Dugati, whats the point of continuing? FFS it took VW less than 2 years to realize this engine is worthless. Its taken me and you 28 Years to do the same. It wasnt supposed to be like this

Hi, all been a while now back on it again.
Putting engine together..just put the crankshaft in half the engine case. When i put the other half of the centre bearing in, it rocks just a tiny bit. I know that if this rocks the crankshaft isnt fully down in the case, but it lines up with my pen marks on the other bearings and ive had it in/out four times already.
Can the camshaft be bent?
