Oh, you know. Ya. I have a line on a diesel. We'll see. It's possible
it has a VWoC reman.

I've read various opinions re: VWoC boxer engine remans including a
statement saying something to the effect of 'they line bored every
case'. But then this is the internet after all. Regardless, that made
me curious as to any possible "matter of course" rebuild processes
they may've applied to the diesel. But enough conjecture on my part.

If it runs ok etc. etc. whatever. That poor little engine sure sees a
beating in a Vanagon.
I know it's a good design. My Dad's '81 diesel Rabbit ran for many miles.
