It's still a problem probably because the WBX is pushing around 2-3 times
more weight than a beetle.

I remember from my days building 1600 cc air cooleds that "align boring" was
done for every rebuild because the cases pounded out easily.  This does not
appear to be done for the WBX cases, is it not possible or just not bothered
with?  I know the metallurgy is better, but this still seems to be a
problem.
