Depth gauge for me. I'm thinking of going through the original 1192 mill from my bug. No idea what the end game there is, but where's the fun in that?
I've heard that a late 1200 motor is a good basis for something a bit more lairy because they dont rev hard enough to pound out main bearings and so on. Maybe turn it into a 2007 or a 2165 so you've got a performance engine with the original matching numbers?

Oh, don't do that, you'll get me in trouble. I'm ok with the current 1776 for now. For start, I wound that 1192 up to 75 mph once, maybe 3750rpm - its probably ruined ;D

Ive got a late mexican 1200 that dropped a valve - theres a bitnof damage inside the case where the head of the valve rattled about, but i figured it'd all be machined out if i had it cut for 94mm pistons! One day I'll get around to it!

Some cheap wheels that I've tried make look expensive 😉
