Long Blocks

Type 4 & Water-Boxer.

For Bay Window buses, late T2s, T25 / Vanagons and the Type 4 powered Porsche 914 — long blocks built right, ready for you to finish or for us to complete as a turn-key package.

Built for the miles

Type 4 and Wasserboxer engines are stripped, crack tested and rebuilt with new bearings, pistons, barrels and gaskets. Crank, flywheel and pulley are dynamically balanced, and every engine is hot run and checked for leaks before dispatch. All engine build prices are plus VAT.

All of our engines are blueprinted, with bearing clearances set, piston & ring measurements, end play, little ends etc. checked and set. Compression ratio raised to match the chosen camshaft & a forged dynamically balanced rotating assembly to ensure long life and maximum power.

Great aftersales service and a minimum of 12 months unlimited miles warranty you can rely on should you have any problems down the road. There is no guess work here, just built right. Because we hate warranty returns just as much as you do!
