Did those heads require welding between the cylinder bores ?
Kinda looks that way.

Hi and a happy new year !
yes you're right, they are welded.
At the moment I think about using 100mm Deutz cylinders.
I talked to someone who builds oxyboxers all along, an he said, the
103mm bore woud run perfectly in a low compression engine with about
150hp, but for more rpm/compression/hp, smaller bore would be the better way.
So if someone wants to build an high-torque oxyboxer for his Bus an searchs for cylinders/pistons
pm !
And if someone has a set of Deutz cylinders /100mm Pistons pm !

Why does a 3mm difference in the bore make a big difference ?
Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:35 pm
At the moment the bore is 103mm, the cylinderwall at the top is 3,5mm. With a 100mm bore i'd have 5mm cylinderwall.
Thats about 40% more thickness. Im not sure what im gonna do
Also depends on if somebody wanna buy my 103's.

Some of the Type 4 guys run 105mm, using the same casting as a 103.
Re: aircooled WBX 2546ccm

That may be, but they still have a 5mm wall in a Type 4. The bore in the Head of a Type 4 is 115mm.
Mine is 110mm.

What does this guy use for pistons and barrels ?aircooledWBX wrote: I talked to someone who builds oxyboxers all along,

100mm = 3.937"
