Subject:      Email Fact on Engine Rebuild?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

Hey All,
Contemplating a complete engine rebuild in the not so distant future. I
have build inline four's before...but this will be my first flat four.
I know the bentley always shows the factory tools to do certain things
like "pulling the distributor drive gear" and things like that. But I
have found with building inline fours that a lot of the times you can
use something else or make a tool to do the job. My question is...what
tools are essential with doing an engine rebuild on a flat four? And
seconds....Is there an email fact that someone has made up with step by
step instructions on removal and installation as well as tear down and
rebuild steps? The Bentley for the Vanagons is really weak compared to
the Bentley for Scirocco's and Golfs. I am going to be rebuilding a 2.1
liter. Any help would be great. Just want to make sure I have all my
ducks in order before I jump into this.
Thanks everyone...
