Machining Work?
« on: July 24, 2008, 07:44:45 AM »
I need to get some work done on my 1.7L Type 4 motor out of my 72 bus. I am looking at getting the heads re-done, dual carbs rebuilt and possibly some machining done on my crank. Everything stock of course.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

K-roc did all my machining. I would contact him.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't touch Type 4 heads.  I'll ask next time I see him.

Any auto machine shop could handle a crank regrind or polish, although I recommend you do it yourself.  Mic the crank to see if it's in spec.  If so, just polish it by hand.
