Tigerbus Engine Lives again
by fasterlaster on Jun.18, 2009, under VW Bus
Well I got it all back together again. Seems to be running very well with no leaks this time. I found that it got a bit hot earlier today, but after checking the timing it seems about 4 degrees too far advanced. It’s still a 1776 (90.5mm x 69mm), and this time I bumped the compression from a lower 7.15 to a 8.25:1. We shall see how it does with this additional power and heat, but first impression is a very responsive engine.
