Stock rods are offset so if you put the pistons on backwards and are still able to assemble it, you will soon seize it up or break a piston. Always make sure the rods are facing the correct way too, forging marks on the rods facing up.

Always have a vw manual beside you.there are always little things that big dogs think they know or forgot. For example a kid brought me a complete bug motor in pieces in a box. Well , I did not know a 1970 and down cam would not work with a 70 and up pump.It ran great for about 5 minutes. I open the book and there it was. Got a locally rebuilt Passat motor from the junk yard.If I had just took the oil pan off I would have seen someone had used too much RTV and the pick up screen was later completely clogged with rtv strings. It ran like a scalded dog for about 5 rides. Alaways look for the little things and the less obvious. |
