Volkswagen Camper & Commercial – August 2019

http://www.volkswagencamper.co.uk1967 CUSTOM KOMBI^91

acquired the bus and after a while

messing with a 1641/single carb,

I met Tim TJ Radford. He lent

me some space in his workshop,

organised the case machining

and suggested some parts, shops

and people. With his guidance,

I built a gorgeous 1914 cc engine

running an 8:1 compression ratio,

based on an AS41 case which has

been vapour blasted, lacquered,

line bored, thrust cut, drilled

& tapped and using a Schadek

26mm oil pump, plugged for full

flow. There’s a Bernie Bergmann

counterweighted & forged 69 mm

crank, which has been 8 dowelled,

there’s VW 311 forged rods, refurbed

and balanced/matched and the

whole of the rotating assembly has

Safari’s, roofrack
and surfboards
