[Vwdiesel] Green Striped Engine

[gary]

I came across a solid green long block a few years back.

Supposedly had 8000mi before throwing a rod bearing. Had a sticker that
said it was a VW of Canada Rebuild. 

There was a significant amount of bandwidth committed to the infamous
Canadian Rebuild at that time.
