I've heard stories about these guys, and one of my friends decided not to
listen to my advice and bought a type 2 motor from them.....a turn key...
Well, when he got it the sheet metal was tweeked, some missing, the linkage
was out of tune, the fuel lines kinked, one exhaust stud was too long where
you couldn't tighten down the heater box before you ran out of threads on
the stud, the oil breather line wasn't connected to the air filter and there
was no where to plug it into either.
He took it back and they fixed all of the stuff, then I tried syncing the
carbs.....couldn't do it!.....and I have a Weber redline airflow
gauge....from when I had squarebacks and 914's.
Anyway, I couldn't sync the carbs if my life depended on it.......he took it
to a shop in the San Fernando Valley......."Just Volkswagens"......Jim the
guy who owns the shop is a nice neurotic kind of guy who used to work on
stars 356's and spiders in Topanga Canyon in the 60's.....anyway he couldn't
sync the carbs either.....he marked the case, so that if the case was split
by GEX, that we would know it.
My friend returns the engine to GEX.....gets it back, a week later the case
had been tampered with.....my guess is that the cam timing was off by a
tooth or two.
So, watch out for those guys......bad news.....I would reccomend Conemac,
Fast German, Boston Bob......anybody but them at GEX
