Quick fix, changed out the old fuse panel. One of the previous owners soldered the fuses in. I was told it's all 8GA fuses, except the far right one. Picture was the fuses box before, with the old fuse set up.

would you believe me if i told you ALL fuses in 1967 were "white" 8 amp?

Hey sorry, didn't get a notification on the response. I do not know, the VW shop next to my house said all but the one?

After stripping down the motor we decided to pull the heads and Pistons. After cleaning the Pistons an honing them out, saw that on was of the sleeves was cracked under all the carbon build up. Decided to scrap them. Got a set of used Mahle Pistons an sleeves. Cleaned them up nice got them in. My buddy put the Pistons and heads on. Adjusted the valves. I'm still in the process of cleaning and painting everything.
There is before an after pictures of everything cleaned. I haven't taken pictures of the painted parts yet.

Motor rebuild was successful. It's back in, running good, and no more leaks. Here is before and after pictures. Couldn't post the video.
