THE bible for rebuilding your Volkswagen aircooled engine
Review date: 2005-07-05 Rating: 10 out of 10
I've used this book now for several rebuilds over the past 10 years or so and is now covered in oily finger prints. It's a bit difficult to get over some of the 'Americanisms' to begin with, with comments like 'don't have to really cinch it tight' and 'that's a real bunch', but they all begin to sink in after a while. As another reviewer has put (and is relates to any rebuild you do), don't skimp on parts and use new whenever you can. I re-used what I thought were OK 'rods in the last engine only to have to rebuild 50 miles later as their big ends were gone.

Essential volume to everyones VW library.Review date: 1998-01-04 Rating: 8 out of 10I was a VW/Audi technician for many years in a dealership. Never in my many years did I find a book as easy to understand as this book. It is much easier to read and understand then even some factory shop manuals. I have rebuilt many VW aircooled engines and also review this book prior to beginning a rebuild just to remind myself of the nessesary steps. It even tells you what Engine cases to use and not to use and step by step parts installation. My only recommendation is not to cut corners on your parts and the first thing to do is buy and read this book. M.C.
