Looking For Someone Who Works On The Old Style Air Cooled Engines

[johnnysstuff]

I'm in Pensacola and I'm looking for someone who can do volkswagen work.

Mine is the 2.0 pancake style engine.

I don't have the tools and a lot of the "know how".

Not really intrested in the big shops as I would like to save a few cions.

If you know anybody please let me know where their at and phone if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Johnny

What does it need? I've been inside all sorts of motors though never vw specific. They are a simple design though.

pic.

some more ?

 

[johnnysstuff]

The last one wasn't suppose to be in there but!

I cranked it up and got it up to operating tem.

Parked it on the drive way for about an hour and took the pictures of the oil spot.

Best I can tell it is the push rod seals are leaking.

I think you already figured that out.

 

[Milesvdustin]

Yeah it's an extremely common issue with these motors. Especially if the seals are original.
