engine problem

[Richard Visser <rtvisser@xs4all.nl>]

Hi Volkswagoners,

Yesterday I noticed something what worries me. The engine of 
my '67 SB is a bit "displaced". The sheetmetal where the 
throttle-cable goes through shows a gap on the left side of 
about 1,5 centimetre between the upperedge and the metal above 
where it should almost make contact with. Do you follow me?  
Driving it doesn't seem to give problems apart from the slight 
stammering and plopping exhaust which I told you about earlier. 
Didn't had time to fix that yet. Maybe its connected. 
I'll surely have to put in on a bridge to check it underneath. 
Somebody out there who recognizes it?
Hope I don't find the pan in my rearview mirror when driving
it to the repair shop :-)
