They came from Germany in a wooded crate. I got several in here when they were available and have one left sitting in my shop. These were NOT the engines that were "REBUILT" in Toronto. It is all brand new stuff with flywheel, oil filter, plugs and oil sensors. Very awesome conversation piece. I may put it in a glass display case for all who visit to observe and drool over (:-)
>>>>>I'm sure they split the cases and a 'real rebuild' ........they have to. No company like VW of VW of Canada could ever claim an engine is 'rebuilt' without going completely through the bottom end. I bought one new, from a VW dealer a few years ago. It look more than just rebuilt to me. the heads looked brand new. the case even looked like it might have been brand new. lol.........<<<<<<
