Hi anyone who reads this. I am female and YES I rebuilt my own motor (a mechanic friend sort of helped me). I had a 1600 in my 72 Kombi. I bought an 88 kit. Is there anytihng I have to modify besides changing the barells etc. The car is going pretty good, but at first we thought there was something wrong with the thrust bearing. Now it seems there is play in the bottom pulley (I am not a mechanic so please forgive the ignorance to part names :-)) When the car is idling, the fanbelt (or the pulleys) make a hell of a racket. My friend told e what he thought it was (not a VW mechanic) so I would appreciate any suggestions from some of you guys who know what is happening. Thanks Tracey
