I also need to sort out my head lining, so any tips or pictures would be appreciated.... Cheers,

Looks very cool

good man!! :ok the locking wire can be a mare tho cant it!!! Yeah it was quite funny really as I took of the rocker cover I thought to myself, I must remember how that clip goes on. Then on putting back together my mind was blank and I thought how does this go in, but in the end I sussed it. I thin...

Hi all, Well I actually got out there today and got one side done, meaning 4 tubes and oil seals fitted on the driver side. I have managed to take it for a short drive and ran the engine. So far no oil leak, I still have to do the other side, but Im chuffed that its done. Thanks to everyone for thei...

Cheers Jason well put and gives me a better understanding of the process :ok Just one thing that flummoxes me is what happens to the oil :?: :? Good point? do you need to drain the oil or if the engine has been left for some time while all of the oil drains back into the sump? I guess its a worthy ...

I have to say i am very happy reading this and has gave me the bottle to get some time and just do it myself, a big thank you to all who have contributed to this thread with their constructive answers. I think i was getting confused as previously mentioned. So I will go a head and follow each detail...

You dont need to remove the exhaust. The only tinware is the small one that covers the pushrods underneath. Unfortunately, the csp telescopic ones wont fit the 2.0 Aircooled. I've found that all the pushrod oil seals I've used have been poor. Well im glad I dont have to remove the exhaust. Shame th...

Would you say it is better to take the exhaust of or just tin wear, still havent had the time or weather to work on the Van, but in the mean time I thought it was best collect as much info as possible. Also I have seen pushrod tubes on justaircooled for £5.49 and just kampers for £16, should I get e...

No...the bearings can be re-used (clean in petrol, blow out with air if you have it, re-pack with high melting point LM grease and re-use with new inner seal) Martin OK thanks for this info, I was not sure if the wheel bearings were pressed into the hub of the brake disc, so changing the seals is f...

So do you need to change the wheel bearings each time you change brake discs?

These are all good points and thanks for your time, I am hoping the seals have turned up at home. As for using Telescopic tubes I am using the old ones, will clean and put back in and will do one at a time as advised. If they leak again, I will have to spend some more money on some telescopic tubes,...

Hi there, Yeah my plan is to have a go at them on saturday, if I can I will take some pictures and post them, but it all depends on what the weather is like at the weekend. As for tappets I was under the impression that they are hydralic lifters and I an only disturbing the rocker arm and spring... ...

Hey thanks for your responses. Ive read previous posts where it mentioned not to use gasket seal, do you think this is best, and not to try with just fresh oil or grease around the seals? I ordered the seals from http://www.vwheritage.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in t...

Ok I forgot to mention I have a 2ltr Aircooled engine.
