The Type 4 Refurbished Engine. is a long block engine from Automotive Remains LLC, built for air-cooled Volkswagen applications.
This Type 4 refurbished long block (1700/1800/2000cc, VW Type 2 Bus) is priced for building from an engine you supply. It’s stripped down, inspected for faults and cracks, and chemically cleaned; the crankshaft is reground as required and dynamically balanced. It’s assembled with a new camshaft (mild performance cam kit optional), new main, big-end, and camshaft bearings, new camshaft followers, new barrels, new pistons with new rings and gudgeon pins, a new flywheel oil seal with a refaced flywheel, new spark plugs, and new cylinder heads (refurbished heads also available). Guaranteed for 12 months or 10,000 miles. If we aren’t rebuilding your own engine, a £500 refundable surcharge applies until we receive and inspect an exchange engine. A vapour-blasted case with drilled, tapped, cleaned, and plugged oil galleries is available as an extra option, and a turnkey engine option is also available. All builds should be rolling-road tuned after fitting. Contact us for full specification details.
Type 4 Refurbished Engine. Details
Volkswagen’s air-cooled flat-four engine powered the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Bus, and Type 3 for decades, and it remains one of the most widely serviced engine platforms in the classic car hobby today. A long block typically includes the engine case, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and cylinders, and cylinder heads assembled as a complete unit, while a turnkey engine adds the components needed to run, such as the carburetor, ignition, and pulley.
Because these engines are mechanically simpler than modern water-cooled designs, many owners choose to replace a worn engine with a fresh Type 4 Refurbished Engine. rather than rebuild it piece by piece. If you’re not sure which configuration is right for your vehicle, contact Automotive Remains LLC and our team can help you compare options before you order.
