Quite a feat of engineering isn't it oldnslow? How the engine parts are toleranced with different materials you mention and each with a different coef. of thermal expansion.
I had a 914 2 liter with that engine config but not nearly as hotrodded as you show.
Can you tell us what displacement that engine is?...compression ratio? Est. HP? Are those 4 webers?
Very cool. I played around with VW's a little but not nearly what you have done there.
