Looking for some assistance from someone going to Carlisle. Want to place an order with MgMagic but want to avoid international shipping costs. Was hoping to arrange to have the stuff shipped to US address then pick up package while at the event. If you are looking for an incentive I could offer an adult beverage at the event. If you can help…[Read more]

I agree Ed, “My” method will not tell a 10cc difference. (One would have to be careful measuring, since a 10cc difference in engine displacement would really only show a 2-1/2cc difference on the water level in the bucket.) But it will/may give an idea of what jugs are installed. As I recall, you thought that your old SP engine was a 13…[Read more]

OK, so the stick will tell you the stroke, but you’d have to know the bore too.

The compressibility of the air is going to be a factor, but you’d also have the combustion chamber volume and compression ratio to contend with.

I am thinking Roy’s Balloon method would not tell you the difference between a 1905 and a 1915 cc engine, but it should be…

I should have mentioned that the method used in the Hot VWs magazine was NOT Roy’s method. That person used a stick in spark plug hole and measured TDC and BDC. That and some other methods. I’m annal and use the tear the engine down and start from scratch method. Roy’s is way easier.

Check this month’s issue of Hot VWs. They cover that in the reader’s section.

I can only think of one reason why this should not work

Air being compressible and water is not…? Would lose a little amount of volume in the procedure I guess.

I was thinking maybe oil in place of air but then you would need to stand the engine on its side to do that. So I like your way instead.

Yeah, nice. The painted headlight buckets and grill slats are both nice details. Your car has a lot of nice details.

Great posting and way to represent!

FWIW last picture shows my Rustoleum Black (formerly chrome) painted headlight buckets.

That and the Beige painted grill (to match the interior as per originals), probably confuse the hell out of the folks as they approach it. Not having the huge Brooklands steering wheel (and I think two more inches of width) in the BCW makes the interior s…

We parked the “mystery machine” right up against the barrier in the regular parking lot (picture attached) . At one point someone says – “…why didn’t you park it on the field…”. First of all there were no categories for “TDr’s” or “daily drivers” or “folks willing to drive top down for an hour in the rain” and Second, I’d have had to pay $…[Read more]

Schu, Shhhhh! Your memory is TOO good.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Windwing Hardware in the forum General Discussion 9 years ago

Nice score!

How did they accept the TDr?
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic How big is your engine? Really. in the forum General Discussion 9 years ago

He has the tendency to blow stuff up so be careful about having him run for President – wait – that might be a good thing.
