The goal here, with all the activity working on my vintage Beetle, is
to get the engine in the car so that I can drive it. After working on
the garage a bunch, and then working on the pedal cluster, back to
working on the engine. This is where I started on Sunday:
After adding some last bits of engine tin. Green dots mark the
breastplate tin. Red dots and blue dots mark the two pieces of plenum
that direct exhaust air from the oil cooler under the engine.
Since it was easily accessible for the first time in I hope, for a
while, I decided to go ahead and check the depth of the clutch plate.
It has plenty of wear left; that's good. Here's the clutch plate
mounted, ready for the pressure plate. The clutch alignment tool,
marked with green dots, holds the clutch plate in place while the
pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel.
Sunday ended, not with the engine installed, but at least in place
under the car.
