开云体育John: Another invaluable piece of info. “A fraught subject”. This made me laugh. In another era, I subscribed to three vintage VW lists: bus, Ghia, Beetle - because I owned and worked on all three. A recurrent thread on all three was what oil to use in the air cooled engines. Like clockwork, once a year or so, a raging argument would ensue, die out without consensus, and then reappear. On another note, encouraged by your previous note, I did extract the lid from the gear box.As you said, the gasket had grown mushy and sticky. And also, as you said, that fifth hole was certainly just a convenient opening to inject lube without pulling the cover. And finally, I’ll live with the misaligned pulleys for a while. Again, many thanks for your contributions.
