At 3:53 Jan25 Mr Morton replies, in part; <snip> Installing a 2.0 Typ 4 Transporter engine would require some front sheet metal modifications or then using the same parts off of Typ 4 Variant. I would not suggest using fuel injected 1.8 Typ 4 Variant engine eventhough it would be a direct swap. --Why is this? That is arguable. Oil filtration is, IMHO, overrated (sorry Toby). Maybe on a bigger engine than what the Typ 3s were offered with it adds to longevity. Further, if you have no qualms with removing Typ 4 heads from time to time, having new valve seats machined in and then re-installing the whole lot, you could consider it 'better'. --How often would I have to have valves and seats done? This is a problem that I haven't heard before ( but maybe I just wasn't listening....)
