After a line bore, we check the journals are in spec after dialling in the bore guage using a bowers type bore setting ring for optimum accuracy. When bearings are available, we can also supply and check bearing clearances and adjust where necessary and possible. Services from machining and balancing to full engine building, with run up and set up on our stuska engine dyno after completion, ensuring you get the best from your engine from the beginning 😉

Thanks to my wife @little_miss_klk for the joint 7 year togetherversary and last years xmas present tickets to see one of the most funny and humble guys I've yet to see @meiklecomedy ! What a wife, what a guy, so good when someone can find and share such humour in their own life stories, thanks for sharing, we hope to see you again soon.

Gulp gulp gulp this 914 motor getting the good stuff before cam burn, and a good oil pressure check. Just needs plugs in and exhaust bolting up (the wrong way to point it out the door) Ran out of time today fannying with all the little things. Hoping for around 115 ish brake horse out of this 2056 with mild scat c25 camshaft. #porsche914 #aircooledporsche #enginebuilder

Line boring isn't as easy as it looks, to get right anyway. In fact its a proper pain in the ass. Getting a set up good enough to hit within +/- 0.02mm or a thousandth of an inch can be quite a challenge , and after 5 cases or so, mysteriously, it can all change. Different materials cut differently, sometimes more oval than round, this is our set up,and we always set the bore guage in a setting ring before measurements. Hopefully bearing manufacturers start making bearings to better tollerances at some point! This one has had the thrust cut to 20.3mm as @theflatfourworkshop will trim a 2mm oversized thrust bearing to fit the case. www.jsautotuning.co.uk

What a difference a few hours can make, if you can find them spare lol. Rusty bodged manky front end chopped, flip front initial trim to fit done,. doors swapped for less rusty ones with no filler.. Ready for @rottenvwresto to work his magic fitting the replacement frame head, naps hat etc and a few patches, plus us making the flip front removable, then a new paint job, restyle and then of course me building the engine 😬 More up dates to follow hopefully soon.. #racecar #neverforgotten #goodfriends #santapod #wereallmadhere #madhatter #outlaw www.jsautotuning.co.uk

Prepping some 2.0 914 headsbfor its 2056cc upgraded motor.. with 3 angle seats, Stainless exhaust valves, chambers blended, ported, valves unshouded spring heights measured and spring pressures set at 140lbs on the seat. Takes time.but time well spent.. its all in the heads you know! www.jsautotuning.co.uk

When using a new type 4 camshaft, you need to remove the original rivets, which we cut down by spinning the cam in the lathe. Then skim the face and countersink the bolts to get oil pump clearance from the bolts. #vwtype4 #porsche914 #enginebuilder

NOOOOOISE!! Anyone local got some larger weber main jets than 150s, Just need to up the mains so i can up the air correctors for midrange ideally.. Hopefully that will clean the top end a little as well, made 109hp, could possibly squeeze a couple more perhaps.. 1915cc, scat c35 cam, 1.3 ratio rockers, ported 044 heads, dual springs.. P.S excuse the mess its quite hectic at the minute

Experimenting and testing a supercharger kit with Gareth Boocock .. on the Stuska water brake dyno.. Carb manifold freezing up keeps cocking things up.. managed 70 ish hp on a clean run so far.

Nice colours in the #Marine tank now. Good to get lost staring into it trying to spot all the little.critters, relaxing after stressful days!

Another cracking @aircooled_school today.. Thanks to all who attended and the great feedback again. Next one is on the 9th of November, email @aircooledschool@gmail.com to book 😉 Always an amazing cake 😉😉

Some of the services we offer at www.jsautotuning.co.uk Lifter sleeve silicone bronze repair/upgrade for worn or hight lift cams.

Managed to finish balancing this 914 crank assembly after the flywheel was skimmed. It was horrendously uneven, now ready to live again. Final balance numbers as always, nice a low 😉 I'm hoping to get stuck into the assembly on this 2056cc next week. #crankbalancer #crankbalancing #DynamicBalancing www.jsautotuning.co.uk

#Porsche 914 in for a well balanced #2056cc upgrade, and all the usual JS auto tuning magic sprinkles. This will be similar to the one we built for Salvage Hunters.. With a C25 camshaft, ported heads, 3 angle valve seats, dynamically #balanced crankshaft assembly, balanced pistons and rocker arms, and end to end balanced conrods. This one is being driven by its French owner to its new home in Spain when it's finished and had a few small test drives.

Almost the complete set up now, after a customer donated an old Victoria Milling machine we have set up as a permanent base for the Turner Crankshaft Balancer, and a bridgeport, needs servicing and wiring in, then it will become the permanent home for our in house made case boring jig.

Today, men did man things, some great friends we have, thanks John and Rob for helping get our new freebies in place, now the balancer has its own dedicated place, a nice stable platform and good use of an old worn out victoria milling machine, converted to house the state of the art Turner Crankshaft balancer we have to dynamically balance crankshaft assemblies. And our second bridgeport , yes I'm two timing our Bridget now, bridget 1 just couldn't handle me full time so decided to share me with a younger model. We will have our case boring jig whch we use for opening out cases for larger barrels and pistons, and performing full flow adaptions on both type 1 and 4 cases, which can be both bored on our jig, set up on one bridgeport which will help us move from one job to another quicker. All this chaos whilst Kerrie has been squirriling away in the assembly room getting on with engine builds.. With Curly starting down in the car workshop from.next month performing all manor of mechanical services from simple brake pads and service work, to removing and refitting engines etc, things are getting quite exciting.. Still a lot to get sorted and organised, but slowly getting there, and thank you to our wood donors for the winter warmer, which glady bridget 2 is closer to 😁😁😁

VW type 1 silicone bronze lifter sleeves done! The best way to save your case from worn lifter bores, and the best upgrade when using high lift cams and running high RPMs. #enginebuilder #enginemachineshop #liftersleeves

Final epoxy coat followed by first hight build coat, going to give it another coat then onto guide coating ready for paint.. @little_miss_klk has chosen colours now, going to try and get this into paint before the real winter kicks in after the never ending winter of this year.

A bit of work to do to match these up!

Trying a set of chinese #weber 48IDFs, video 1 of 3. We will show next the modified ready to go carbs in video 2 soon, then a 3rd and final video of the results on the #stuskadyno #letsgoracing #boringvoice 🤣

It's been a long time coming, enjoying family and friends and chilling..

Looks like I've tuned this 1641 on twin kadrons better than I thought, cruising at average 60 real MPH (tyres smaller than stock make the speedo run out, speed taken from sat nav so real speed) Stopped a couple of times for fuel thinking we would have used a lot more. I built this motor years ago originally, mildly ported stock heads, stock camshaft, 1.25 ratio rockers, It always ran rich and was typically poor on fuel, Had the motor out before our trip, to service and set up on the Stuska Dyno! It's done us well so far, other than an oil leak.. gosh golly. And starter failing..

1915cc bus motor loading, Tinware powdercoated Satin Black, always looks smooth! Should be on the #stuskadyno later. #enginebuilder #aircooled #baywindow

Vw DPR 78.8mm Crankshaft assembly balance.. #dynamicbalancing #crankbalancer #enginebuilder

@scatvw 90mm flanged crankshaft fully balanced with flywheel, @ronlummusracing Street 6 clutch pressure plate, and Gene Berg balance pulley.. Nice finished numbers 😁 #DynamicBalancing #aircooled #raceengine #racecars #enginebuilder #volkswagen

This week we have set the balancer back up, as we have 6 crank assemblies to balance, some for customers who are building their own, and some for customers engines we are building. Phase one of dynamically balancing this scat flanged race crankhaft assembly after clearancing, 90mm crankshaft for some serious power 💪 Lots of small corrections made to get this under 2gm per plane, now to add flywheel, balance, then pulley, balance, then clutch plate and balance. This way makes sure each item is balanced correctly and enables replacement parts to be balanced before fitting to keep the whole assembly in spec 👌 Contact us for your dynamic balancing, conrod or piston balaning requirements. #crankbalancer #scat #scatperformance #aircooled #raceengine #enginebuilder #DynamicBalancing @scatcrankshafts

Race car day, thanks to Wayne at Rotten restos.. Sorting some much needed repairs, whilst I work out the wiring needed for guages etc.. #neverforgotten #racecar #santapod

Neat little tool for setting geometry I bought many years ago now, works for standard and 1.25 ratio rockers and stock to mild lift cams. Reassembling an engine that had very mismatched deck heights, and rocker geometry was a mile off, had to get some cut to length pushrods as it required slightly longer pushrods than stock. #enginebuilder #geometry #1915

Loads of case machining at the minute, A good mix of type 1 and type 4 cases Inc a 914 motor in for rebuild.. #linebore #94bore #1915cc #type1 #type4 #914 #notenoughhoursintheday #needatimebrake

Lots of case machining going on at the minute, type 1, type 4, Volkswagen, Porsche, boring for 94mm pistons, lifter bore sleeves, prep for and engine some assembly going on.

More on @john_runningmonkey_mills Just enough wriggle room with these Gene Berg valve springs, hopefully enough distance between retainers and guide.. got that to check/adjust next. Using the titanium retainers I had lying around to get some more valve train weight down.. Bottom end closed up, and deck heights all adjusted to within a few tenths of a millimeter to achieve equal compresion on all cylinders, that took an age lol, head ccs measured and adjusted equal, compression set at 11.1. Slowly slowly catch a running monkey 🐒 🤣

Getting on with this mildly modified 1600 motor. Sorting the horrific aftermarket casting and machining out, and a bit of mild porting, ground the valves, next week we will test the valve springs and set the heights accordingly. These heads were sold as a pair but were definitely not twins lol. Nice weather outside for port work! #engine builder #volkswagen #aircooled #itsallintheheads all I see is wasted horsepower! #morepowercaptain www.jsautotuning.co.uk

Line bored, thrust cut, and checked main bearing clearances on Wayne Sowerbys motor today. Mild 1600 motor, will be throwing in a c25 camshaft to help it breath just enough to drag his split around. Measure, check, measure again.. Carry on with this and @john_runningmonkey_mills @little_horus_dragracing spare motor next week when his bearings arrive 😁

Almost there, few things left to sort, including the floor. Finally created a nice workspace for engine building 😁😁 #enginebuilder #aircooledvw #aircooledporsche

Some of the important case mods and measurements that go into our builds that we have performed on @little_horus_dragracing spare motor. Hoover mods, oil presure relief diversion, lifer bore sleeve conversion, big and little end radial clearance measurements, just the start of all that is involved in a stroker motor build, built to last. #aircooledvw   #aircooledporsche #enginebuilding #noworries #30hp #36hp #porsche356 #vwsplitscreen #vwbay #vwtype1  #vwtype4 #vwtype4engine #vwbeetle  #vwbus #vwbug #porsche914   #porsche912 #linebore #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #turnertechnology #flat4  #flat6 #hayburnermagazine #volksworld #salvagehuntersclassiccars www.jsautotuning.co.uk

#volkswagen #type4 #porsche .. Finally turned this scrap into brrrrrap lol.. Bay type 2.0 4 motor, stock bottom end, with 40IDF carbs amd a lovely CSP Sidewinder exhaust, a few £££ but id say worth the money. Porsche fan conversion, these make carb linkeages a PITA. I dont think they are worth the money, especially given they dont cool as well as the stock set up or a DTM conversion. #aircooledvw   #aircooledporsche #enginebuilding #noworries #30hp #36hp #porsche356 #vwsplitscreen #vwbay #vwtype1  #vwtype4 #vwtype4engine #vwbeetle  #vwbus #vwbug #porsche914   #porsche912 #linebore #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #turnertechnology #flat4  #flat6 #hayburnermagazine #volksworld #salvagehuntersclassiccars www.jsautotuning.co.uk

April already, wish the year would slow down.. Hopefully a few jobs get finished this week, 2 engines should get delivered, A few cases to machine, Get the new engine room finished off, Then start on the next run, que seems to get bigger, whilst time seems to go faster 😒.. Anyone know where the time brake is?

Thanks to Mr mover of things @wandern_waldo @vonflames for moving the new wash slave today..

VW Type 4, 1911cc, webcam 494 camshaft, twin 40 weber IDFs, worked heads with larger valves, heavy duty valve springs, light port work, CSP exhaust, and a horrible porsche fan conversion lol. As usual its been built after all bearing clearances have been measured, adjusted and set, everything balanced, valve spring heights measured and set, deck heights, CCs and compresion set with cylinders as closely matched as feasible. Fuel pump oil feed and return tapped and blanked with threaded oil gallery plugs. Then we had to find a belt that will fit, 28 belts later and this is the best we can do, so if anyone can help with advise, bigger top pulley perhaps? I was thinking shim the fan up? Never building a motor with a porsche fan conversion again, DTM all the way.. Now i need to strip the water pump for the stuska dyno and clean it out to get water pressure to run under load and perform some power runs.. Looking forward to see how it performs 🤔

Trying to get belts that fit these is like a bloody lottery, and its all we are missing to run it on our Stuska dyno. 1911cc Type 4, webcam, big valve heads, CSP exhaust, weber IDF, Porsche fans are a blag.. Didn't manage to finalise in time for #volksworldshow. #triedmybest some things are sent to haunt us.

Machining a few cases at the minute for 90.5s. Cylinder bore machining performed after line boring etc, then set up on our jig to ensure boring and decking is inline with the crank centreline. We can also supply main bearings and mic them up to check and set bearing clearances for you.

When rebuilding an aircooled engine, especially on a type 4, quite often the oil feed holes dont line up with the bearing hole, so i mark them through the bearing, then with a countersink match them up to make sure they flow oil correctly.

Love a good balancing job.. Cracking numbers on this final spin, As always we spin each individual item so if you ever have to replace one item, we can balance the replacement for you, so your assembly remains in tollerance.. Anything below 5gm per plane is good enough for a race engine, we always aim for the lowest possible, A balanced crankshaft assembly will make your engine run smoother, and help your bearings last longer 👌 #machineshop #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #linebore #bigbore #casedecking #thrustcut #fullflow #1776 #dynamicbalancing crankbalancing #30hp #type1 #type2 #type4 #porsche914 #porsche912 #enginebuilder www.jsautotuning.co.uk

When using a set of 1300 heads for a 1776, there is a lot of work to do unshrouding the valves for maximum flow, and porting/blending the ports to improve flow in and out of the head. No need for massive ports, but there is still a lot to remove to improve flow enough, and should compliment the now 3 angle seats we have cut.. They will be finished with stainless valves, and uprated collets after final finishing etc. #bleedinghorsepower 😁 #machineshop #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #linebore #bigbore #casedecking #thrustcut #fullflow #1776 #dynamicbalancing crankbalancing #type1 #type2 #type4 #porsche914 #porsche912 #enginebuilder

Sorry for my voice, and excuse the mess in the workshop, a bomb went off and i havent had time to tidy yet 🤣 I usually look towards a balance figure of less than 3gm per plane, aluminium pulleys sometimes mean settling for 6 and under, which is still more than good enough for a race engine 😉😁 #aircooledvw   #aircooledporsche #enginebuilding #noworries #30hp #36hp #porsche356 #vwsplitscreen #vwbay #vwtype1  #vwtype4 #vwtype4engine #vwbeetle  #vwbus #vwbug #porsche914   #porsche912 #linebore #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #turnertechnology #flat4  #flat6 #hayburnermagazine #volksworld #salvagehuntersclassiccars www.jsautotuning.co.uk

Dynamic Crankshaft Balancing.. www.jsautotuning.co.uk We balance the assembly components one by one, All engines should have the moving components checked and balanced where required, including the conrods, pistons and rockers . A good balance job will make your engine run smoother, rev easier, and not rattle your bearings etc to bits prematurely. #aircooledvw   #aircooledporsche #enginebuilding #noworries #30hp #36hp #porsche356 #vwsplitscreen #vwbay #vwtype1  #vwtype4 #vwtype4engine #vwbeetle  #vwbus #vwbug #porsche914   #porsche912 #linebore #machinework #crankbalancer  #crankbalancing #dynamicbalance #dynamiccrankshaftbalance #turnertechnology #flat4  #flat6 #hayburnermagazine #volksworld #salvagehuntersclassiccars www.jsautotuning.co.uk

VOLKWAGEN 2.0 TYPE 4 MOTOR.. @little_miss_klk getting this type 4 motor together!

Maching an as41 engine case, this was a type 3 case, so we have had to drill and tap for type 1 oil pressure switch location, and drill and insert a dip stick tube in the correct place.. We have milled back the area ready for tapping for full flow oil adaption. 8mm case savers have been installed, and we have step bored for 94mm cylinders, this is done to keep as much strength in the case bores as possible. #Aircooledmaching #machineshop #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #linebore #bigbore #casedecking #thrustcut #fullflow #1776 #dynamicbalancing crankbalancing #type1 #type2 #type4 #porsche914 #porsche912 #enginebuilder www.jsautotuning.co.uk

Test fit of this reground crankshaft into the freshly Linebored and thrust cut AS41 crankcase.. We have also remove oil galley plugs, drilled and tapped for him, an important part of any engine rebuild, especially when the case has been blasted, for thorough cleaning. If this step wasn't carried out, some debris is sure to cling on somewhere and destroy a bearing or two in a short space of time! Over to mark.boughton for that thorough cleaning session, and to get his motor rebuilt for many more happy miles! 😊 #machineshop #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #linebore #bigbore #casedecking #thrustcut #fullflow #1776 #dynamicbalancing crankbalancing #type1 #type2 #type4 #porsche914 #porsche912 #enginebuilder

After a line bore we blow through the case, and check with a bore mic, pre calibrated in a bowers bore setting ring! @jsautotuningperformance www.jsautotuning.co.uk #machineshop #machinework #crankbalancer   #crankbalancing #linebore #bigbore #casedecking #thrustcut #fullflow #1776 #dynamicbalancing crankbalancing #type1 #type2 #type4 #porsche914 #porsche912 #enginebuilder

Martyn Dunstan's crankcase finished, Line bored, thrust cut, full flowed, bored for 90.5s Was standard on the mains, so line bored to .50mm but the rear was still rough (see pic) so had to line bore to 1mm to clean it up fully.. Nice and shiny, ready for the customer to give it a good clean, and build!
