The only caveat is it has to go back to the builder first to have the rear
main replaced. I tried to get him to send me the seal but he wants see
exactly where the seal failed. He used to be Boston Bobs only employee for I
think 15 years. He even trained under the same factory vw tech Bob did. I am
honestly taking a 1,000 hit on selling this motor. I even debated just
filling the cylinders with oil and storing it in case I buy another van. I
just really really hate the miles of hoses these motors have and that parts
like throttle switches have become NLA. I know that someone will figure out
how to replace these parts like Terry K did with the
hose that goes over from the thermostat housing over the transmission
eventually. Plus,
I enjoy playing with conversions as I have had a subie,a tiico, and now will
have a Zetec.
