This month marks 10 years since I completed Brad's 1967 Beetle performance drivetrain upgrades. Car is still going strong and looking great, built to be a mostly stock appearing "sleeper".
Featuring a 2387cc built here at RISmachine with Autolinea pent roof aluminum case, DPR Machine 86mm Chevy journal crankshaft and lightened flywheel, CB Performance 5.5" h-beam rods, AA performance 94mm P&C, CB straight cut gears, Steve Long Racing Cams EXR grind (.584" at the valve) with 1.4:1 rockers, CB Performance 44x37 CNC Super Pro heads, dual Weber 48 IDFs, Magnaspark ignition, and an A1 sidewinder exhaust. Transaxle built by Jim's Custom VW to handle the power, Gene Berg mid mount, HD VW rubber mounts, and a 2" narrowed beam up front.
The last 10 years have been relatively uneventful. Lots of miles, really just oil changes and valve adjustments needed. A few upgrades here and there when Brad wanted to improve things. The worst problem was an exhaust flange gasket that let go a few years back that required replacement.
The car spent the winter here for maintenance and a once over. A new crank pulley and sand seal were needed, that's about it. Built well and built to last.
And yes, we know the rear bumper isn't correct for 1967. The cosmetic restoration was done by a prior owner. One day we'll fix it, for now it's fine.

Another cold and misty day For us awaits The unfathomable beauty of it Sheer white mountains Walking as the slope grows steep And the powder deepens For a moment I have to grin This is quite a dream Sinking but not reaching ground While it falls without a sound Making very little progress Inching up without success Finally ground to a halt Prudence dictates we must abort Sliding down racing the darkness Tomorrow we'll press

Subaru is a brand that has always been synonymous with four-wheel drive. Until now, its models have been conservative, their exterior design did not stand out, and their interior was several years behind the competition. However, times are changing and the brand's new models have changed significantly. We received the second-generation XV compact SUV for testing. I was curious about the new interior and especially about the combination of the gasoline engine with the Lineartronic CVT transmission. From the outside Already the first generation XV was significantly different from other models of the brand. It offered a distinctive design and was marketed in a fresh orange color. I had reservations about the rendering of her back, where the lights were too small for me.

Photo dump 4 (last one) of the recently completed 1776cc....
Not a complete step by step as you may be used to from me, but this set shows:
Bolt together rocker shafts set up on heads with clearanced 1.1:1 rocker arms with 8mm elephant foot adjusters.
Rocker geometry set up, adjuster close up is at half lift.
Rockers disassembled, Redline assembly lube applied, shafts reassembled.
Push rods lubed, shafts installed, and valve lash adjusted.
New OEM Valve covers installed.
New NGK spark plugs gapped and installed.
Dan picked this long block up yesterday to complete the turn key assembly. It will be topped off with the new @cb_performance Sniper fuel injection, Magnaspark ignition, and Gilmore @gilmore_enterprises air conditioning.
Give @dangerousdanmiller a follow to see the completed engine soon and the seriously top notch restorations he turns out. We have two more engine builds on schedule for restorations he has in the werks #staytuned
