Here at Chirco Performance our shop performs all aspects of our engine builds, From case machine work to VW cylinder head rebuilding and opening for big bore pistons, This past week has been super busy with VW engine builds.  From your everyday VW driver to all out performance air cooled VW  builds we got you covered, The engine shown is heading to El paso TX.  It’s a 1776cc,  Give Chirco a call for your next VW performance engine.

One of our local customers recently purchased this 356 Porsche Speedster, She contacted our shop because she was having some overheating and performance issues, After some quick testing we found that all four cylinders had very low compression. after a bit more looking around we found that the previous builder did not believe in cylinder heat deflectors….. So the rings were cooked and the cylinders are in pretty bad condition, I will keep you posted on the progress of this build, Looks like we are going to go with a 2 liter. Working hard to get this VW Engine back in working order.
