Very nice indeed .Is this a Mr Okrasa built engine ?Whats the spec ?
Posted by: 69project - 10 May 2009 21:34:41
now that is cool!
Posted by: vicpolky - 11 May 2009 01:19:28
Very nice looking motor 8)
What are the specs?
Posted by: brille52 - 11 May 2009 10:52:25
This is an original Okrasa motor I bought some time ago - what the spec`s are ? TSV 1300/30 with original Okrasa crank - original Abarth exhaust. This week we put it in the car - let`s cross our fingers that it would "sound" like it should !! :wink:
I don`t know Mr. Okrasa - this one has been restored by the VW specialist Reinhold Plank from South Tirol.
Thank`s for the nice words !

Hello Andreas, This will give a nice hartbeat to your papler...
The sound of such a 'hart' will turn heads.8)
Before I have always seen you comming my direction at meetings , now I will hear you comming.
Say hello to mr 3x14a :wink: if you see him. I did not forget him, neither the man with that special item we discussed in Bad camberg.
He just need to have a litle more patient.
One day I hope to make the same engine out of a 30 horser....the NOS kit :shock: will eventualy be used. First I need a decent car to put it in.:roll:
Greetings.

Heij Peter !
Please stay in touch with your American friend regarding the cause of Mr.3x14a ! Don`t give up !
This Okrasa engine I bought once for my other project,you know : RouRouRou :wink: , now it will fire up in another fine car, but not in the Papler :oops: The Papler is perfect in the way it is, I will not change a thing - it drives so well .
See you soon !

well, I wouldn't put a NOS Abarth on a running engine, at least to keep the original decals clean. :cry:
but otherwise, Okrasa in a Papler is a pretty ultimate combination...:lol:
Super car and super engine - can wait to see it in HO
Christian:lol:

Incredible!! :beer: What's that dipstick up the top for? I don't think I've seen one of those before
Posted by: zelensis61 - 17 May 2009 20:03:14
Nice ride andreas.
Always love a nice shot on a hebmuller engine bay, specialy when it is an early one.
Rob, The dipstick on the "rounded top fire wall" is to dipp it in oil..as the normal is replaced with a temp Gauge sender unit.
Now you learned 2 things in one answer.:wink:
Best regards, Looking forward to see it in the flesh.
I'll keep my nos kit ready for the moment I can afford and finding a real cheap heb:roll: ... [ATTACH]3020[/Attach] [ATTACH]3021[/Attach]

Did the first drive on the highway today : the needle of the speedometer wanted to go up more then to the 120 km/h sign - incredible - NEVER drove so fast in an old beetle....great feeling.
Also Reinhold has an Okrasa in his Heb, but he has a lot more space behind the engine - could this be, because mine is an older model ? No way to place the bigger oil filter, which came with the motor, up on the left.Also had to eliminate the Knecht filters from your pics, Peter - no way to close the engine lid with these mounted. Now with the flat ones ,it works.
H.O.is like a target - I never would have finished this engine without the pressure of that great event - so I think, does a lot of others with their cars ! Also for this reason I/we have to Thank the team round Christian and Björn.Good luck !!
...and now I gona do another drive....

Hi andreas.
I know there is a difference in early and later Hebmullers.
The fire wall in the early cars is like a beetle. Straight up
The fire wall in the later cars are under an angle and the top is more forwarded then normal.
The later one can exept the knecht filters.
Yet another thing you learned....:lol: on hebmullers.
As I have knecht filters I need to find a later heb....:?
Greetings. Peter

Damn Peter !!!
WHY DIDN`T YOU TELL ME BEFORE ??????? :wink:
Very interesting,Thanks !
We have learned by doing - next time I change something on the car I drop you an email before,if you allow me to do so.We could save a lot of time !!!
I wanted to mount the bigger, green , Mann filter, but : NO WAY !! As Öttinger used Mann and Fram filters, the orange, smaller one, will do it also ! :d
How`s your Zelensis car ? Might there be a possibility, to see it at the H.O. show ? Would be great !
Greets !

Ps. Thanks for the good answer to Rob`s question - when it becomes tecnical my english leaves me - so bad !!
Ps. You have a super Okrasa Kit there - it`s time to find that Heb !! Come on !!!!!

Great looking engine, but you need to paint that filter blue!
Posted by: brille52 - 19 May 2009 14:15:19
I always loved the red light..ähhmm..the red/orange colour !! :wink:
Fram filters are orange or blue - so - it works fine for me -
Ciao !

The master himself, gerhard Oettinger, and yes it is a cut-away engine with .....ORANGE FILTER 8) [ATTACH]3025[/Attach]
Posted by: vicpolky - 19 May 2009 23:34:11
@Zelensis61 who is that in the pic?
Posted by: pre67vw - 19 May 2009 23:43:00
I'm trying to work out where his hand is, is it me or is a chunk of the fanhousing missing? :?
As a guess, I'd say it was Mr Oettinger, the man behind Okrasa.
Posted by: vicpolky - 19 May 2009 23:56:41
That was my hunch too. Now you mention it it does look photoshopped - unless it's a cutaway motor.
Posted by: 54 Gertie - 20 May 2009 00:05:04
You can see the cooling fins on the LHS barrels. I do believe that it is a cutaway display engine.:wink:

Oh good, so that is a genuine picture of Dr Oettinger?
