Subject:81 Westy 2.0 Rebuild
From:Ron Schlamp
Date:Sun, 25 Nov 2001 14:50:39 -0600

I am rebuilding my entire Westy, paint, interior rust, heat, noise as well
as the 2.0 engine.  I am looking for advice on my rebuild.  I am new to the
arena of VW engine rebuilds.  I have a reputable (I think) mechanic, but I
thought I would throw this out there for some response from the great wealth
of info on the list serve.  My priorities in the rebuild are, first -
dependability, second - adequate performance (only enough to tour around
comfortably) and third - maintaining or improving good gas mileage.  I am
wondering if anyone has any advice on things I should know , or ask my
mechanic about, products to use/avoid etc in this project.
