Why are you wanting to use EM's stuff in the first place, is it his preference or something? Boost Engineering has everything you need, they even have a VW specific kit complete with pulley! http://www.boostengineering.net/product_p/edis4kitvwblk.htm

A1 sidewinder type is probably the best merged you can get that doesnt stick to far out the back. Example: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=844698 The other route would be a hideaway type example: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&source=hp...CCIQzAMwAw Dual merge mufflers dont stick out that much and a little bit more inexpensive. Hope this helps you out. -Jon

Driving it around the block would be good. Noticing oil leaks among the obvious. Make sure that the block is a AS41. Its always a gamble picking up a used motor from someone.

I prefer to use copper head gaskets to increase DH. My latest engine has the same 0.010" DH as yours, so I added a 0.040" set of copper Bugpack head gaskets to get 0.050" clearance. It's possible that 0.040" DH would be fine, but I prefer a bit more, just to be on the safe side. How will you be driving with this engine-ie. long distance highway, Friday night racing? http://www.cip1....

sounds like you have dropped some valve seats or your push rods are doing something weird like they are not in the rocker cup. take the rockers off completely and see if all your valve stems line up and see if all your push rods are straight etc.

Hi. These came with an engine I bought. It was built in the early 90's, but never got used. It's marked vw/audi logo and 044 101 375.5 and BR. Valves are 40/35,5 SS. Now, I searched samba for info on early 044's, but didn't find any answer. When did vw start to build this type of heads, and when did CB " take over"( if that is what they did??). I ...

You can step up to a set of 1.25 rockers and between that and the larger carbs you will feel the difference. I wouldn't bother with bigger heads unless you take it apart and install a counterweighted crank. The extra air flow potential will support high rpms that will beat the crap out of your case with the stock crank. Jason
