I have some more questions. 1. Main bearing dowels: 5 came out of the case, 4 on the left and one on the right. The Bentley says only put them on the left... it only makes perfect sense...? 2. Trivia: What is the significance of the elephant stamped into the original rod bearings, right next to the "VW" symbol? 3. one half of one of the cam bearings (fromt, rear, cant remember) is flanged.(both the original and the new ones) does it matter which side this goes on? 4. The Bentley says to heat the crankshaft gears to 176 deg. F to install them, this would burn my fingers, no? any tips, suggestions? Or do they go on very easily at this temperature? 5. I got the rebuilt crankshaft in a box labeled GEX. I know you don't think highly of them, but what could they do wrong on a crankshaft? 6. I had case savers installed: what torque should the studs go into the case savers? Just the 23 ft lb that the heads apply, a little more? Thanks, you guys are the greatest.
