Gentlepersons-
...Dig out your old copy of John Muir's "How to Keep
Your VW Alive" for
making a cheap static timing light...VW/Bosch distributers have a built-in
retard for
the #3 cylinder (at least for the upright/beetle engines); the type 4 engines
don't have
the problem because the oil cooler is no longer in the way of the air
cooling. Anti-seize
on the plugs should be used sparingly, since the plugs ground through the
threads...In-
serting a steel threaded plug into an alloy head is always a problem -
Careful with that
spanner, Eugene! - Try nickel-based anti-seize from the plumbing supply
house...
