A few weeks ago, I just finished my first engine split on a type 1. The head replacement went perfectly. Everything is really easy, as long as you follow the manuals. The type 1 is a simple engine IMHO.
But what about the type 4? I got a 1800 (i think) Fuel injected engine from a late model bus for free. The Only problem with the engine (yes, it runs) is that the pulley bolt broke off in place, (don't ask me how) so there's no pulley or cooling. I can drill the screw out, and in the worst case scenario I'll just replace the crankshaft. but I'd also like to convert the thing to carburetion and check her inside out. Is it too difficult for a total newbie to do this? How about the costs of an engine overhaul?
TIA, Karls
