I just picked up an old 40hp and there is just numbers no letters? I thought all VW motor had a letter or two with the numbers? Hey also it turns by hand but not all the way around? Could it be a valve stuck?
I found it. It's a D 1965 I think? 9443605. Getting ready to take it apart on the engine stand. it won't rotate a full 360 before it hits something inside by hand. No rainwater in this one or rust. Just an oil old motor. Can't wait to see what's hanging this up inside.
Leave the flywheel on to check the end play.
Yes, Dub gettin’ back into the Dub.
And messing things up at every step LOL

Until 1966 (bug, buses may be different) engine numbers were just numbers, no letters.

No offense but not sure how you can consider that a rebuild….
