engine case question

my engine says Brazil on the side is this common and what may it mean?

It just means that it was manufactured by VW Brazil.

...and it probably looks good in a thong

Is there any quality differences between where they are made?

Wow......tough to say. The rule of thumb is that ANYTHING made in Germany was of a better quality than locations in Brazil, Mexico and elsewhere. Having said that, I have a Brazilian gas tank and it looks and works just fine. In fact a LOT of after market VW/Speedster stuff comes from Brazil and is usually OK, except for engine cooling tins (which don't seem to cool as well as their German counterparts) and some chromed trim pieces (which seem to rust prematurely).

My case has Brazil on it also. It only has a single oil relief valve. Must be an older case as most now have dual relief valves. It runs pretty good though.

This would mean something only if you're a Zerro Mostel fan and have watch the movie "The Producers".
Also, I though Bruce Almightly found Jimmy.
