<body class='hmmessage'>Well, I am psyching myself up to pull the engine from my '68 squareback as I have at least one oil leak that is creating a wonderful smell. I should have my gasket kit by early next week and I have been studying up on the process in my Bentley manual to see how difficult this may be.<BR>
<BR>
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I used to work on my '69 bug back some 20+ years ago. However, given how long it has been, the fact that this engine looks different and is fuel injected, I am a bit nervous to say the least.<BR>
<BR>
I was thinking that I may also need some additional sealant to use when installing the new paper gaskets. Thoughts? Also, other than the usual care taken when working on cars, is there anything special that I should know that is not covered in the Bentley manual? What about the FI, will I be able to pull this stuff off, replace my gaskets and put it all back together without any kind of "adjustments" made to the FI system and expect it to work as before I took the engine out?<BR>
<BR>
Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!<BR>
