I am currently rebuilding my 83 WBX  engine for the first time.( I have
owned VW vans for 30 years and won't drive anything else.)
I have rebuilt a 71 T2 Westfalia about 3 times that I owned for 15 years. I
would like to know if "lapping" the cylinders and heads
is a good idea in a WBX. That is taking some valve grinding compound,
putting it on top of cylinder then placing the cylinder in
the head and grinding it for a few minutes. I am thinking it will make a
tighter/smoother seal in a very critical area.


First time on the list.
Michael


83.5 WBX Westfalia
