I know that there is at least two bolt =
lengths for

years ago
the long block I received took a shorter pulley bolt.
Fortunately the VW mech that was installing it noticed this and I spent =
a week
getting the correct bolt. He wouldn't use washers for spacers, =

they may interfere with maintaining the correct torque over time =
(BS or
not, I don't know). I don't remember how much difference in length =
there
was but I think it was about 1/2 inch. I did a little research and =
found
that in late '85 was when it changed.
