Hi all. Aside from a compression test, measuring end play, (and of course installing and running!) are there ways to tell if there's anything totally wrong with a given 2.0 air cooled engine? (like spun bearing etc.) I have a spare engine that I've harvested external parts from, but have no idea if it's mechanically sound or not. Just curious, Neil. -- Neil Nicholson. 1981 Air Cooled Westfalia - "Jaco" (Bustorius) http://web.mac.com/tubaneil Please send me your Vanagon/Westfalia links! http://vanagonlinks.googlepages.com/home
