This seemed good to me when I first read it, but after a little thinking I'm confused again. I don't see how the T4 engine "isn't subject to the problem to start with." I know that some versions (buses and 914s) of the type 4 engine are sealed from below, like the beetle engine, thus these engines don't have sealed ducted cooling air intakes, but some do. I know the type 4 that I work on does, for example. This particular type 4 also has AC, but off hand I can't remember how the compressor belt is run, but I KNOW that it comes outside the duct (the compressor is outside, on the left) so there must be a hole cut in the duct to pass that belt. Since a type 4 engine into a type 3 body would require a ducted input, what did you do to make this not a problem?
