I'm not an air-cooled expert by any means... My understanding was that it's so easy to just yank the motor, that there is little point in doing anything more than adjusting the valves in the car... C

It is so easy to pull the engine. After you remove the sheet metal around the engine and disconnect the fuel and electric lines, only 4 bolts hold the engine to the trans. Other then a couple of metr
