beetle engine up

2009 October 26 00:20

After 15 months, I finally got the engine back in my Beetle this evening. We had friends over for football, and the evening got busy, so I didn't to starting in or even turning the engine to get everything oiled.

However, the engine is in the engine compoartment, after a 15-month hiatus sitting in the work bench. Upper 2 mount bolts are in and tight. I lost my wrench that works for tigthening the lower studs. I also fished the t hrottle cable through the front engine tin, which is a pain to do; the throttle cable is indicated by the green arrow.

More photos and details and stuff soon, I'm going to bed now.
