Why Dan? Aren't the parts a lot harder to get and more expensive than the VW? Dunno . . . just asking. One of the fellows in my EAA chapter had that engine in his Tailwind and couldn't keep valve seats in the head. Sold the plane finally he was so disgusted with that engine. If they're run hot then I suppose rebuilding a VW every 200 hours is necessary. Run it cool and it'll run forever with normal maintenance (oil & valve adjustments). Mine currently has a little over 800 on it. I put new valves in 200 hours ago and I'm not expecting to do anything else in the forseeable future. I run it cool. It's a chugger.
