I would take to it to your local auto machine shop and have it measured. The last VW I had I installed new replaceable jugs, pistons and rings. I had to have the crankshaft ground undersize too. It was a 1972 Super Beetle and you had to split the block to get to the rods.
It had the engine stolen and they left a 1600cc
engine with a blown piston. I gave $700.00 for it in 1973 and ran it 4 years then sold it for $1900.00. This was during that first oil embargo
and you had to wait in line for gas and could only buy 10 gallons. You froze to death in the winter. I don't care how cold it got it would start every time and was good on snow. Hal
