Is there an easy way to identify the case, cylinders,
and crank used in a VW to determine what size engine
it really is?? I see the heads have a p/n.. Do the
cylinders etc also have them identified?
Also, what is the difference between the Type 1,2,3
and 4 cases?
Thanks. A newbie to VW and KRs
The case is marked with a large serial number along one side of the lower
part of the case, and yes there is a cross reference to tell you what it is.
You can measure the cylinders to see what size they are. There are so many
manufacturers that I would not know where they might put their serial
n
I think that the type 3 was used in the Squareback,
Station Wagon. It has a tab for mounting on the rear (car )
upper right side, Virg

visit several web sites, including Great plains, Mark Langford, and others.
the differences are not always visable. The difference between some engines
is the throw of the crank. Steve at Great Plains has lots of information
and books to sell.
