Joe,
Thanks, but I've put together a couple before in the 90's, I've also built the odd VW engine before.
I have a 120HP Type one engine in my '67 VW bus. I'm building a matching '67 bug 1700lbs with a 180hp (estimated) 2.7 liter nickies, SDS FI 914 type 4 for in it. I built the heads, installed new guides and seats, oversize valves, 12mm plugs.... 2nd engine I've built like this first was 150RWHP on a chassis dyno.
I think I can handle it.

Just didn't want to buy a bunch sealants I'll never use again, I have enough half full tubes and bottles.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
