I am looking for an original VW aluminum case. Does anyone know how late these were used? Some aluminum cases were used as late as 1952 by Porsche.
Thanks, David Seeland |

| Were all of the 1950 and earlier cases aluminum? If not, when were magnesium cases first used? |

This change was made in 1951:
Ch.nr. 1-0 225 376 (19.01.1951) Magnesium-aluminium alloy crankcase replaced by Elektron. |

| Sounds about right. I have a Dec. '50 engine--all aluminum. It actually looks kinda white colored. |
