Oil return tubes with long stroke engines

[Wally]

It must really become a very strong, racy engine of about 2,7 ltr: the long rods will move the powerband up in the revs, as I wanted. This requires quality heads and piston/cylinder combination: I have found an unused set of Mahle Nikasil set with 102,9 mm bore. Pistons are dark grey of color and the cylinders are designed for the long 80mm stroke, as I understood. For heads I haven't decided yet, but I very much like the Remmele new heads with type 1 design exhaust ports. Saving up has started....
Not sure about the cam yet. Doubting between 324 and 332 degrees and/or a split cam design. Maybe with 324 I can stay with single springs and have some more drivebility to boot. It will be in a 1303, modelyear '75 beetle (already GL of course) street car.
For induction I plan on a DTA Fuel injection (www.dtafast.co.uk) and combined (direct) ignition, crank triggered.
Just collecting parts/advise so far.
Since the long block is the basis for everything, I value your opinion and I was very pleased with the announment of your new Titanium push rods. I reckon that with a set of those, I don't really need the extra ligth cam followers of 54/57 grams at € 500,--/set, because with your titanium push rod set, I have the same total weigth with the standard type 1 cam followers (bushings will be done anyway)and your push rods as with the ultra light cam followers and a Chr.Moly push rod set... or am I mistaken?
Wil they come in extra length also?
Hope to have given you enough info so far.
Mit freundlichem Gruss,
Walter
