[Vwdiesel] Green Striped Engine

[Chuck Carnohan]

So Chris, do you know the history on your "striper"?  Is it the original
engine or a replacement?

Upon further inspection I did find some green paint behind, and to the
right, of the oil filter.  Near wear the block bolts up to the
transmission. Looks like my engine is of the "striped" variety.  No
green paint near the head, or the oil pan as far as I can tell.  Just
the remnants of a green stripe midway across the block.
