AL's VW Shop

We have been busy building lots of motors! Here is a 1835 thick wall we just built. It runs (and sounds great)! If you are interested in a motor give us a call @ 323-559-6297. Please mention you saw us on facebook. Thank you!

Looking to get a motor built or have custom machine work done? We specialize in air and water-cooled vintage Volkswagen motors. We want to build your motor! If interested please give us a call @ (323) 559-6297 to discuss.

We use quality oil (with Zinc additive), which helps ensure a long motor life! We built this motor with a full flow oil filter, it should last a very long time. Give us a call to schedule an appointment today.

Customer car, we rebuilt the motor and did quite a lot of other work on. It is running (and sounding) great!

Check out the Porsche 914 motor we built!

Great to see this car back at the shop. The engine we built a few years ago is running great!

Grinding the pressure plate, and removing the glazing to help the clutch grab.

We are grinding the glazing off the flywheel and installing the clutch. We did this after fixing an oil leak.

Okay here's another 1914 in process

Here is another picture of the case, we have already machined it and set it up for full flow.

We are building a 1835 for a customer today. We are going to machine the barrels since it is a thick wall.

We built a type 3 motor for a customer's Squareback. We installed an engle 100 cam, engle lifters, Mahle cylinders, and pistons. We used Auto Linea heads and flycut them down to ensure a 7.7 compression ratio. The benefit of working with a full machine shop is we can do all this work in-house, to ensure a great running and long-lasting motor. To further ensure long life, we custom built a full flow oil filter setup. Please enjoy these pictures of the build!
