do you have metal shavings in your oil? If you lost the pushrod end into the engine you could do SERIOUS damage to it. It cuold wedge into some place nasty, it could break apart and wedge into smaller, nastier places, it could plug oil passages, etc... On the flip side, it could do nothing and you'l...

That case would have been kicked out of the factory between Aug and Sep of 1964, and at that point would have been for a 1965 model. Whether the guts are original at this point is anyone's guess. Would have been a 40 horse. FWIW, in 1966, Engine numbers beginning with an F would have been 1300's, bu...

I don't think the '66 has the spare tire deflator hose.

do you want a '66 correct color, a VW correct color, or just any ol' color? I'm particularly fond of L388 Atlas blue, which was a '59 only color. Here's a link to a car that was being painted that color. http://sixdaemonbag.smugmug.com/Daily-Driven-Dubz-Galleries/Shows/Phoenix-Bug-O-Rama-2007/DSC018...

Welcome to VW ownership. Here's some fun trivia for ya. The VW 1300, 1500, and 1600 engine cases are all identical, and interchangeable. It's very common to rebuild a 1300 into a 1600 dual port, which is probably what you've got. All the parts are slip-in or bolt-on. What's even more exciting is tha...
