Proven Performance and Reliability Built by Jack Sacchette

The 1914cc EMPI turnkey engine starts as a long block, built in Southern California by legendary VW racing legend Jack Sacchette. Jack Sacchette knows VW engines, and he knows quality engine components. Jack is the founder of Jay Cee Enterprises and is a 9 Time VW drag race champion. His engine builds are legendary, and have been featured in Hot VW's numerous times. In short, if Jack puts his name on this project, you know these are going to be some seriously great engines.

Top Quality, Brand Name Components

These EMPI turnkey engines come with the best internal components available from the top brands in the world. Everything is brand new. Nothing is re-furbished or re-built. Actual component selection may vary based on world-wide availability, but you can trust that the engine is built the right-way using the good stuff.

Components brand names include AutoLinea, Elring, EMPI, OSVAT, Mahle, Manton, Silverline and Schadek. This engine in particular includes a new, AutoLinea “Bubble Top” engine case and AutoLinea dual port cylinder heads with OE style OSVAT valves, seats and EMPI proprietary 3 angle valve job performed on a Rottler valve machine at EMPI in Anaheim, California.

Comes with a 12V, 200mm Flywheel

This engine comes with a 12V, 200mm flywheel that will work fine on 1967 and later vehicles. If you have a 1966 and earlier vehicle and your engine still has a 180mm, 6V flywheel, you will have to clearance the bellhousing of your transmission for this engine to work. If your vehicle already has a 200mm flywheel, you are good to go. It likely means that over the years the original transmission was replaced or someone has already clearanced the bell housing.

Ships to your Home via Truck Freight

These EMPI long-block engines will ship via truck freight to your home. The engines are crated for safe delivery and the truck freight includes a residential lift gate service if necessary. You don't need to worry about getting it off the truck. They will deliver it safely to your door step or garage. The shipping pallet measures 36"x36"x36". Can only be shipped to the lower 48 States.

Oil Included

Oil is included. Follow included set-up & break-in instructions before running your engine. Go where the road takes you knowing your new engine has you covered. Your EMPI turn key engine will be that last of your worries.

The 1914cc engine has chromoly pushrods so when it comes time to adjust the valves, or if you are checking them before the first start, make sure they are set to "zero lash". The pushrod shoould be able to spin freely, but the rocker arm shouldn't have any play against the pushrod or the valve stem.
