Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Quite agree about the round rings/oval bore thing.
    That was the problem I had with the rebuild years ago that gave so much trouble.
    The customer actually came in and measured the bores himself before instructing me to just rering the GLD. He wore the cost though and all was good.

        yeah mate, that looks right, good work.

        you can also try putting a "t" into it and a 't' into the hose from the crankcase to the vaccum pump, and connect them (a later factory revision does this).

        good luck.

        PS - nice clean paint in the engine bay - looks like your cars a real 'minter' (pardon the punn)
