I recently acquired several cases. I have been going over each case trying to figure out which is best for my application. I didn't pay much attention to one of the cases until a few days ago. It was clearly a bus case but I cannot figure out exactly what type. Does anybody know the story to this case? Is it a re manufactured case (vw recycle symbol in picture)? If so, is that good or bad? Other than dirt, it is in excellent condition. The registers were not sunken. The bore is nice (per carbon paper test and dial bore gage).
I could not find the typical serial number. The only markings that I could find are pictured. It has a 914 style dipstick, it LOOKS like a stock dipstick. The dipstick is plugged with a metal plug (pictured). The fuel pump boss is set up for a mechanical fuel pump. Does not have a secondary fuel pressure relief piston. The lower oil filler mount is patent (as with buses). Attached image(s) |

VW universal replacement case, good find if it specs out.
It uses a different P/U tube than the 914 case, but you can modify it to accept the windage tray. The metal plug in the dipstick hole is lead, heat it up and melt it out. |
