While brousing through a brochure i have that explains the differences between all the years, i noticed in 54 it says "break-in driving requirement dropped for engine", why would this be? Just curious...

From what I 've heard, that's because VW supposedly ran them at the factory long enough to consider them being broken in.

That is what the book says, no break in required, but it's always wise to do so.

WHAT! am I missing something or does everyone but me still have an og 36 horse motor that still needs breaking in?

Let's do the time warp again!

tasb,
Seems like you've been left out in the cold, I have 5 og motors. :lol:
Just kidding, I'm assuming the guy is talking about a rebuilt motor. The book does say no break in required but that was when the book was printed. That's why I said it's always wise to do so.

Actually, I think he just wanted to know why the book said that there was no need for a "break-in". At least that is what I get when he says he is "just curious".
