Subject:Last minute tips before engine re-install?
From:Don Hanson
Date:Tue, 14 Sep 2010 08:41:56 -0700

I am going to re-insert my inline four VW motor this afternoon or tomorrow
morn into my 84 5sp van. 2wd   I swapped in a 2.0 liter bottom end and now I
am about ready, but I really don't want to have to do it a couple of times
because I "forgot" something...(like I have done during the 'block-swap' and
re-assembly of the motor itself).  I have not removed a Vanagon motor before
but I am fairly competant as a home mechanic...I have a bunch of things to
work over as I get ready, but sometimes you just don't "see" a glitch coming
until after you get past it...and backing up with a one-person engine
install is difficult..so anyone ?

  Thanks, Don Hanson
