Hi

The pinion drive gear will rise when you turn the motor over forwards and it will munch the brass gear.

The first thing I do when building an air cooled VW is fit the pinion in the case with the shims and hold it down with a dissy. I always make sure that the pinion hole has no wear marks or groves that would stop the pinion from beng removed if needed.
