I finaly got some time to clean up the engine after I pulled it a couple weeks ago. I was pretty disapointed to find this large crack. I'm mostly conserned about oil leaks right now. Would there be any preoblems with running an engine in this condition?
It's also one of the no numbered VWOA engines. What kind of reputation do these remanufactured engines have? I does run well, however I haven't done a leak down test on it yet. Thanks, Rob   |

I agree. The reman engines had a tag affixed to the case, at least the ones I've seen. They were rebuilt in Canada, and they were notorious in the day for spotty quality. I know of one that failed during breakin at our local VW dealer. Less than 15 minutes! The align bore wasn't parallel to the axis of the case and the cam gear went away. Other failures were pretty common, back in the day.

The Cap'n I toured the Downsview remanufacturing plant back in the '70's when I was in high school. They were building type 1 engines that day. I remember seeing a 914/6 heat excanger on top of the scrap pile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
