Hi Jeff,
ok ..so you have a syncro 2.1 engine then ?
yes, I do have one cast iron, 3 grove syncro 2.1 crankshaft pulley.

I'd feel better sending you a picture of the engine side of my pulley ..
and we'll compare it to the engine side of your current doka pulley.

pmail me .
thanks, Scott

>>> Ok, so I know have in my possession a used 2.1 engine for my '89. When buying a used engine, just like a used car, you aren't going to (usually) get everything you want. This 2.1 came out of a Doka, and it didn't have a/c or power steering-my '89 has both. So, I need a 3 groove crank pulley, a/c bracket, and ps pump bracket. I have a 1.9 already with all three-will they just swap right over to the 2.1? My guess is yes. I have also ordered ANOTHER Bentley manual. Every time I sell a Vanagon I sell my Bentley, then I buy another Vanagon and another Bentley-usually for more than I sold mine for-still trying to figure out how it always works that way. Thanks, Jeff
