If anyone has two or more used forged pistons, # 2206, 030 over, I could use
them for a rebuild. The other four pistons look/measure out good and the
barrels look good too. It appears that during the last rebuild of this 140hp
one piston was too big and one much smaller than the other four. All the
correct number though.
I have had this engine in a 1972 VW bus/camper for almost 20 years and at
that time it came out of another bus that I parted to get the Transvair kit,
all the running gear and the camper. At the time I was told the engine had been
rebuilt, but no receipts came with the deal. I discovered during the
teardown that the engine had been stamped with "Squirrely Motors." I am in
Northern California, has anyone ever heard of this place?
I have been trying to get as much information about what works best cam
wise/etc. for my application. I have read that the PG 140 cam would give me more
power in the lower RPM range, with the four speed in my VW. Would that be
the best bet? Any tried and true suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This combo has served me well, except I have been running without much heat up
front for the past twenty years and would also welcome any suggestions in that
regard.
Thanks
