When does one decide a case has to be align bored? I have a GC case that I am getting ready to take to the shop to check for register collapse but have no idea what the criteria might be to consider align boring.
Thanks in advance! |

........A crankcase that NEEDS align-boring is a crankcase that is worn out, and has seen plenty of use /or abuse. Many of the other register points are probably toast also....check the cam bore, check the case/crank end play area,.check the cylinder register area , and finding bearings can be a problem....Just get a good replacement case and save yourself a lot of grief.....clean and assemble the crankcase...(only)...with ALL the fasterners torqued to factory specs., then take it to a competant (vw) machine shop for an inspection. Then you will know.
