Just being honest, watching someone rev an engine on a test stand has the value of a can of beans in a dollar store which is what's happening in all of these videos. Get this stuff on a dyno and in a car if you want this to go anywhere. Call me whatever you want, but the dynamics change radically when you apply load.
You are correct and I put this engine together just to abuse it, and the valves are floating but the dyno I use is almost 3 hours away. No one close to me can do vw. But me abusing this engine does tell me things I need to know. And when I build new engine I brake them in on this stand and get the carb and rockers set and do a couple oil changes ans when it goes into a vehicle I have very little to do before I drive it.
I friggin love it!!!
How much is this Holley downdraft kit, (less blower and carburetor!)
You can't beat that price anywhere!!! I'm thinking to order one!
Ya, I'll cut the buggy to fit that in place!!!
Bad ass! I would've loved to have had that in my 64 Type 1
