Bravo Frank,

Any WBX engine repair that is this complicated, deserves to be performed OUT
OF THE VEHICLE and mounted on a rotational engine stand. This is the only
way to view critical assembly, sealing and contamination issues. High risk
repairs like this one, when sadly performed in the vehicle, seems to set the
stage for the often lamented WBX subsequent reassembly problems & repeat
sealing failures.

Usually when new problems arise from a poorly performed major repair, only
the WBX reputation takes the hit as "difficult to repair" & a motor prone to
"multiple repeat repairs".

More correctly, the lack of the professional WBX repair procedures and
special tools coupled with questionable repair "shortcuts", result in the
typical "crucifixion" of the otherwise highly reliable (2.1L) WBX engine.

Regards,   John
