While there are small differences, most of the engine parts are similar and many are identical. Identical: crank, rods, cylinders, flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disk, thermostat, engine bearings, dowells, oil pump, thrust shims, pushrod tubes similar: pistons, heads, generator, case, oil cooler Completely different: cooling tin, fan, pulley, thermostat linkage Some parts will move from one category to another depending on the year. Congratulations, 71 is a very good year. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
