If you have even wanted to do a Type 4 bus engine into a bug or in my case a trike here is how. Any questions let me know.
T-4 (bus) into a T-1(bug) Finally after many many hours of research and peoples experiences and opinions I got my T-4 2.0 longblock (bus engine) into my T-1 trike. Machine ($30.00 at machinist in SLC) the center of the T-4 flywheel so that it will take the crank or gland nut pilot bearing. Mine is a 215mm. A 210mm will also work. You have to pull the pilot bearing out of the crank so that the new bearing ($9.00 from aircooled.net) will fit just a bit into the crank space. Harborfreight has a bearing puller that will work. Here is the machined and turned flywheel with the new pilot bearing in it. The yellow trike I am putting in a hydrolic clutch system. Should have it done this weekend. Took out the autostick. Sorry about the last pic being sideways. Is there a rotate icon to rotate pics?
