Dear Mr. Hoover The issue of a weakness at the "back" of the VW makes total sense - I have seen drawings where the pulley mounting hole is drilled deeper into the crankshaft past the narrow sections /grroves etc. I figured that had solved the problem.
What does not make sense is the claim that Great Plains are stating that their rear drive, damped engine has done something like 400 hours (I think it is 400) without a snag - I will go back to their web site and check. I have heard great reports from everyone about steve benet - would be real sad f this is true.
