OK Guys!
I just got word that the July issue is at VW shops.Subscribers will get it and then it will be at the newsstands.
This one his Jake's Duel Spark Plug Head article that we wrote.
I have also updated the TypeIV club page with some pics from the Sevierville, TN show.
Several Burnout pictures. www.sevwc.com/type4.htm
Hope you all enjoy the July issue!

It should be an easy issue to spot- There is some goofball in a Polar Silver Oval being chased by a Black and White Police New Beetle on the cover. And now I know what the legendary Jake Raby looks like, as well...

Oh the problems of fame! Good Luck. Just think what will happen when the next article hits the stands.

Jake, I warned you that this was going to happen...Wait 'til the magazine gets all the way across the U.S....Then, when the Type 4 rebuild article(s) come out, it's REALLY gonna get crazy

When will you Interview John Connolly about the new German 39 gram lifters that he sells through his site? They are going to be the hot thing next year.

Also, the six stud under barrel CNC plate system that I am buying from Power Tuning in Germany is quite trick.

The Typ Vier scene is bustling.

Steve, you would have to take up with Dave or Ryan on those two things. They decide what goes in and out of VWT!
I agree, the Type IV scene will be very popular! I am glad to be a part of it!

Actually, John Connolly has about 4 or 5 pages in the July issue already; he and ACE VW dude Art Thraen teamed up on how to properly rebuild the Weber 48 IDA carb, along with some of Art's little tricks to make the IDA more streetable, such as the 3rd progression hole. If/when he wants to let us know about his 39 gram lifters, we're all ears. He is doing something with his CDI, I think his vacuum advance distributors, and an exhaust application chart, as well, for us. I don't know when that poor guy has a chance to sleep anymore.....

Ok, I decided I'd give Trends another try and guess what the store had 'em, yah right, November 2000. Whats with that? Maybe next time it will be......DECEMBER? No, July right?

WOW!
I wish the mailman would hurry up and run, so I can see if my July issue is in there! I know, I wrote the Tech article, but it looks totally different then when you send it in!
You all don't start asking me questions about the Duel Spark Plug heads, you know who will answer them (Jake)! Yes I did write it, but I couldn't have done it without Jake

Now we just have to get the Type Iv series started and turned in

I've heard of the plates a couple times but what is the percieved benifit? What are we strengthening?

Steve Arndt · Post by **Steve Arndt** » Fri May 11, 2001 8:11 am

The benefit is you can six stud modify the heads and anchor hte extra studs into the plate without modifying the case (although it might need decking to clear the plates. .?). The six studding is required (most agree) on 103 bore heads even w/ low compression. I am buying heads w/ the 6 stud system 39 gram lifters, case, 964 cooling system, and some other stuff from Oliver for my 2599cc Type IV project.

Yes, those are the same.

Do the extra studs go in the larger off-set holes? Our desert motor was fifth studed by FAT and it was centered at the bottom of the cylinder. I don't see how you get much more holding power from a stud less than an inch away from an existing one.
