[T3] help - similar to starter question thread
<x-flowed>After much work, my type 3 engine rebuild is done, and the engine is back in
the dune buggy. I now have one potentially serious problem. The engine
will not turn at all. It turned befor I put it in the car, but not now.
During the course of my build, I traded my flywheel with the one that
has the o ring. My original one did not have the o-ring. A local guy that
builds a lot of VW engines has been advising my on the performance
enhancements that I have made, and suggested that I needed the o-ring type
that was 8 dowel to go with my new counter weighted crank. He later
realized that my old one was a 6V. He then gave me a nice 12V starter for
$20, along with the new bushing for the transmision.
After reading the starter question thread, I am wondering if I have
gone from a 180mm flywheel to a 200mm in a bellhousing not meant to accept
the 200mm. I did have to struggle to get the engine onto the tranny, but it
did bolt up. I am wondering at this point what I might have ruined tonight.
Any input here is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad Mularcik
