[T3] First Steps Engine Reassembly

[Dave Hall]

 The 36HP just put any oil mist down onto the road through a slit rubber
cap, rather than taking it into the aircleaner as on later Type 3s.I think
there's a tube alongside the dynamo stand - which is part of the crankcase,
as you say.  I'll keep my yes open for any workshop bulletins coming to
light.  My workshop manuals do have some updates from the original 1958
pages.

BTW, the metal louver plate was a factory addition, sometime in the early
60's, to cut down on oil mist that was getting to the breather. This was
added to ALL VWs at that time, not just Type 3s, and was recommended for all
earlier VW engines, 1200 cc and larger, if they were ever rebuilt or
disassembled to that point. (The 36 HP engines have a breather that is
integral with the case, so there's no way to add that plate. I don't know if
VW had a different solution for them.)
