Engine rebuild 1.6 aircooled


Finally got the car back from paint and figured that i should address the leaky engine. The engine compression test was done wet and dry and was not as per requirements..worst of all the piston rings were worn especially the oil rings and the oil and compression was leaking FROM THE HEADS! 
That justified a rebuild...

Engine out and and taken apart

Liners and pistons marked and kept aside to be washed






bearings were in OK condition but would still be replaced since it would be best to replace bearings.




Yanked the gearbox out for cleaning and to change out all the seals.

Drive shaft boot replaced
