Sam picks up right where we left our short block and builds the top end of our unassembled 1600cc engine. While he was hoping to leave the mistakes from the prior video behind, it seems that one more, well two more things actually, got overlooked while building the top end. Before the push rod tubes were installed, the cylinder deflect tin should have been installed! So after removing the heads for a moment to fix that mistake and install the tin at both sides, the long block finally gets assembled all the way out to the valve covers. Follow along and watch the steps Sam takes, and the mistakes he makes while building this all new, EMPI Unassembled Long Block 1600cc engine.

EMPI's Stock 1600cc Engine Kit comes with everything you'll need to build your own Type 1, 2 or 3 VW long block. The engine kit includes a new aluminum Universal engine case, a 69mm 4140 Chromoly Crankshaft, forged stock connecting rods, a stock camshaft, dual port cylinder heads, chromoly pushrods, solid shaft 1.1:1 rockers with swivel ball adjusters, a 26mm Schadek Oil Pump, chromoly head studs, Mahle Rod Bearings, Silverline Main Bearings, Cam Bearings, a complete Elring Engine Gasket Kit (although ours was missing the sump plate cap nut sealing washers), 12 Volt Flywheel, valve covers and bales, and most all the hardware needed to assembly your new 1600cc VW long block engine.

A few extra pieces will be needed to complete the engine, such as flywheel shims (available in a kit here - [ Ссылка ]) but you'll use only 3 pieces to set the crankshaft end play. We also used some additional rocker shaft shims to get our rocker assemblies set up correctly - [ Ссылка ] - Rocker Shaft Shims. Our engine gasket kit was missing the sump plate cap nut sealing washers, but that is not typical, that was Elring's mistake in packaging the gasket kit.
