Thanks guys. The machine shop did a great job.
Did they get some new bearings for you? How long until its running?
Made em....soooooon, I hope !
Whoops, no joy on the bearings. Still looking for a set. Anyone

Are 1.6 and AAZ the same bearings?
they are the same as the 1.9, i can get you a set if needed, pm me
For those interested, the Clevite number is SH1209 S
After finding someone willing to look at old books, they found them in stock. Nothing is listed in the new books, though.
um,,are the aaz bearings the same as the rest of most vws??

"sealed power part# 1726M"
