[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 618886, member: 3541"] Your engine code starts with B5, so it's a 08/67 - 07/70 1600cc dual relief, single port, 47bhp, USA only engine. If the pushrod tubes aren't leaking, leave them alone. VW air-cooled engines don't have head gaskets, so I presume you mean rocker cover gaskets. The only way to measure the bore and stroke is to remove the heads, but as you said it's running well why bother. The timing really needs to be done with a timing light, no more than 32 degrees of advance at 3000rpm. Don't be too concerned about timing at idle. [/QUOTE]
