Got it. Very interesting book. And, as you said, while it focuses on adding
HPs, it provides a lot of insights which are even useful for those with
stock engines.
I was wondering if you have a copy of the book "How to Rebuild Your
Volkswagen air-Cooled Engine (All models, 1961 and up)" by Tom Wilson and if
so if you recommend this. I have tried to mail order it but all the
suppliers I have tried don't ship to Thailand (except for Amazon, which
charges a $80 sourcing fee!!!).
