Cranks and cams are intended to rotate so no problem there. If you think they are out of time with each other then you will have to split the case to know for sure or just run it.

I found a rusty old pin that says "where are all the nice boys?"

I wouldn't bother with taking it back to the same shop. Find a new mechanic.

Looking forward to seeing your Single Cab at the gathering.

7 weeks to go for one of the greatest gatherings in VW history!

You should really save the head board, behind the cab...looks nice and these are usually beat
