To rebuild a horizontal engine such as Bug ,Bus , Air Cooled Vanagon or Water
Cooled 2.1 you should  get a  New piston & cylinder kit./ The pistons &
cylinders have a tendency to wear oblong or egg shaped . what you do is put new
round rings into 2 egg shaped objects = piston/ cylinder )  It is bad news to do
so  /  Honing NO  // Dont be foolish do it correctly !!!     I have thousands
of the horizontal rebuilds under my belt . Over 40 years of VW parts &
service  ( TAKE MY ADVICE !!!  ) I would also like all the gang to look over our new
