<VV> VW valve adjustment / some corvair

[Frank DuVal]

It's just semantics, not that the entire engine was destroyed. Back when 
I could buy a rebuilt VW engine from a local supplier for $199.00 
exchange, to destroy an engine just meant repacement was as cheap or 
cheaper than taking a head off and repairing it. Engine swaps were a lot 
more common than head repairs.
