Another great trip - to kangasniemi

Visiting kangasniemi is allways fun, this time we had one goal especially antd that was Picking up the 1960 vw of mika ritvos. But in the same trip, i could pressure wash my 2 blocks, one stock 1600 cc and the other one is a as41 block for a 94 mm bore, align bored and machined for the full flow... Pekka made a oil-line modification, that im not familiar with, but i trust for this super-pro wizard, the other block seems to need an align-bore, and thats what it gets, there will be one 1600cc and one 1915cc long block...later on. Econo-budget ones. ;-)

I had to take a photo of my two "piggies" the 911 and the 912... They are ...well waiting.... :-)

Heres the flywheel side of the modified 94 bore block, this could make a nice engine to one of the convert ghias that i have... Who knows, or for the bug?

The grey haired hippie, is mika ritvos, the owner of the bus behind us.... The other ugly wide-faced guy is me, as you can see im on the drugs, yes i really am, taking pills everyday for the sarchoidosis, that was almost fatal this time.

The cat came also to say hi, but too fast, couldnt get a decent picture ;-)

Washing the blocks, they dont shine, but they are pretty awesome now, next thing will be to wash the cylinders and pistons... And chase the correct bearings... I have cylinder-heads ofcourse, but they are autocraft 910's and angleflows, so they are a bit extreme for these...

I also took the turbo-ghias plenums to get more welds, for the injector-area and for some fuel rails too...

I also had to check my ghia vert, that really seems to like dust & grime, well a wash wouldnt do harm... :-) thanks to pekka for the nice day, coffee and everything. Getting back soon... ;-)
