So early WBX case?,
What did you use for the rear main with thrusts? (has to be cut in half/use 2 bearings?)
The T4 case bore at flywheel end is much larger than T1.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Early 2.1 I believe.
Using a stock style VW one piece rear main/thrust. I'll dig out the numbers sometime soon.
This engine will run T1 sized journals in the WBX case.
