[Vwdiesel] 82 Westy Rebuild

[Rudy]

Have the Flywheel turned, I'd put in a new Clutch Kit and Release Bearing
and a new Input Shaft Bearing, may as well pull out the Transmission and put
in new Axel Flange Seals, never be easier than it is right now.

Meyle makes a nice Water Pump with a Cast Impeller and Meyle also has a 36mm
High Volume Oil Pump.  I buy those items from Autohause Arizona.  Good luck.

The engine from the 82 diesel Westy is finally out, lots of thanks to the
folks over on the Diesel-Vanagon yahoogroup list for a ton of help.

This is my first full rebuild.

I've got the old pickup 1.6NA short block (a factory rebuild) at the machine
shop getting bored, .020 oversized pistons, the crank ground, and all new
bearings (including the intermediate shaft.)

I need to bring the head in as well, I was hoping I could use the Vanagon
head, but the air filter box was zip-tied together and the filter wasn't
seated right so the airbox was coated in dust and grime.
Probably contributed to the early death of the Vanagon's factory rebuild.

Anything else I should do while I've got it apart?  Tranny is still in the
van, held up with a chain.  I assume there's a seal in there I should go
after?  Clutch has less than 20,000 on it.  What should I look for to see if
it's reusable, or should I just go for a new one?

The van has some rust and dings, so I'm trying to get it to be reliable, not
like new.

Thanks,

Will.
