You probably don't have to remove that one. Leave the front breast plate in place and just remove the top cooling tin on the left side. > Is there anything else I should be thinking of doing while the engine is > out? Check the clutch disk, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. Look at the flywheel clutch surface. Remove the flywheel and polish the sealing surface. Use 400 then 600 grit silicon carbide paper (the black stuff) with oil on it, not dry, as you rub. Do your strokes along the direction of rotation. Replace the main seal. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
