I wonder how far out of balance those motors would be with 10&1/2 too 1 compreasion piston change. Not that it needs it, my close salvage yard carrys lots of old vw parts it you need any, his # is 989/871/4000 and he ships some stuff i think.

you dont have to change the pistons on a VW engine to change the compretion the deak height is ajustable and this sets compretion mine is set to 8:1

ok here we go i got it to exactly my goal 3-5 lbs of boost and i jetted up to 130 main jet and lowered the air correction to 70 once the electric choke comes off it runs UNBELIEVABLE and it sounds ANGRY!! but in a good way ill check the o2 sensor tomorrow and next we add the wood gas interface and re-tune the camera battery died at the end. i cant believe you can actually hear the supercharger ever so slightly in the background =)âŚthis is on gasoline for clarification

I think you must have a lathe, just because âŚ
If you can lock the spindle. There is a way to mount a tool sideways in the tool post and use your lathe as a shaper by moving the saddle back and forth. Makes good keyways.
I like to use Tap-Magic as cutting fluid.

i dont use cutting fluid with aluminium it typicaly dosent need it B/C i go so slow but if im doing steel ill use old motor oil love that smell lol =)

Try a tiny little squirt of kerosene when working Aluminum.
It will reduce the amount of BUE on the cutting tool.
Any animal fat-mineral oil-soap and water will make a useable cutting fluid for Steel in a pinch
Very nicely done build chum!
