Resigned to pulling the motor to find and fix oil leaks. Ordered the Tangerine plate and it really doesn’t look too bad. Heck, we were halfway there just doing clean up.
In looking at a manual we have, it mentions a washer between the oil cooler and the block. I don’t see this on the parts diagram, and when we did the seals I didn’t see one up there. So-washer or no washer on the studs behind the oil cooler??? Also-once we get the motor out, can we just set it on milk crates or build a simple stand? Don’t really want to invest in an engine stand. Merry Christmas and TIA Rob |

Not sure I’d recommend milk crates, but a cheap, Harbor Freight engine stand and a VW adapter really makes things easier. I just did a quick look and buying both brand new should cost you under $100 total.
On the oil cooler, I do recall there being a washer (technically a spacer) under the oil cooler to space it away from the boss a bit to control the squish of the seals. |

Any recommendations? |
