   Pretty impressive Darrell.  This makes me wonder ~~

What is the most miles any Westy motor has gone before scraping or
being pulled for rebuild?  For rebuilt motors, count from milage when
it was rebuilt.  That puts all original motors and rebuilds on an
equal basis.  If you report about a candidate, please say if it was
air cooled, water cooled gasser or diesel.  With the wealth of VW
experience among the List, this should be interesting.
