<x-flowed>> I have an early VW manual which gives the nominal length as 143.5mm +/- 
> 5mm. I suspect this is the wrong number and should be 153.5 or ? Perhaps

I remember having to reset my '63 Notchback because someone had changed it. 
There was a clear mark at where it had been for 30+ years before someone 
messed with the pushrod.  When I adjusted back to where it looked like it 
should be, it matched the length stated in my 1961 dealer shop manual - 
143.5 mm.

My '65 shop manual says the same thing - 143.5 mm +/- 5 mm.

Of course there is a possibility I am remembering it wrong but my guess 
would be that if the '61 manual was wrong, it would have been corrected in 
the '65 edition.
