How many horses in a 1600cc? Also were there different size engines in the '71 or were they all the same? Thanks!

All the same unless the bus was sold in Britain, then it could have come with a 40 HP.

Nothing, VW changed thier minds later, use .006".

Use .006" for stock aluminum pushrods. Loose zero to .002 for steel (chrome moly) aftermarket pushrods.
