you must clean the case -- steam clean - then magnuflux case -- cracks will be> at or around cylinder holes and oil pressure valve
forgot -- AND cracks can be found @ or around main bearings
if no inserts -- then at the studs as well!

Magnaflux only works on magnetic materials like steel. Won't show
anything on aluminum or magnesium.

There are other techniques which do work on non-magnetic materials,
however.

 Bridgeport/Fairfield­ -- That place is on the way to the cape, so I can
easily 'sell' the 2 hr drive to my wife :)­ Thanks!
I have to crack the case still so am just getting my ducks in a row.

Would this place also do other machining related to VWs? (like valve
job).

Just watch out for the Statie at exit 5.

I'm sure they would, but call first to make sure
they still work on ACVWs.
