OK, didn't realize I had more responses. Lots of info to sort through.
I didn't think of thicker cyl gaskets to compinsate for the cases being machined. And, I would think, the chain tenssioners would make up for loose chains.
The shop he's going to is Soren up in Santa Rosa, CA. Seems to have a good rep with lots of 356 and VW parts in there. My friends been pretty sick lately and hasn't got the cases into the shop yet. He was going to stop by my house, pick up his new valves and deliever today but he's at the Dr.
I'll pass on all the info and let him decide what to do. I'll tell him to bring the #8 bearing with him when dropping off the cases.
I think it was Bruce Anderson that once said; "Mag cases are made out of sand".
Thanks for all the info and responses.
