I don't have any history on the engine, was told when I bought it that it was rebuilt recently, but looks like it was probably just "pressure washed and painted". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)
I will be replacing the clutch disc obviously, I was just asking about the pressure plate since it didnt look bad at first glance.
Yes, I will try an electron microscope photo next time for SirAndy.

Anyone have any comments on the hammering of the bearing number transfer onto the case bearing surface?

I went thru the same type questions about my case. "Do I need to Align Bore, should I Deck the case?" And I had no local Type 4 machine shop. A type 1 guy took a look but did not measure anything. He noted this on mine: With the case split, look at the mating surfaces above and below the bearing. The round areas where the thru bolts go. The areas around the middle bearing (#2?) were very smooth, like there had been movement. the other bearing areas still had machine marks from the factory. I finally found a small shop to measure for me. Turns out the case bore was straight. Probably need to find a type 4 or VW shop to measure stuff for you.
