Tim Rogers
.............I was driving home when a car started tailgating me. Usually
it's a SUV that does this sort of thing but today it was an Acura coupe that

work.
shown so far is the left side, the right is about the same.

The VW Valdez
Shoddily built 1834, product of a 'premier' engine-builder (according
to the defunct VWT). Dual carbs, shiny aluminum valve covers, -009,
trick muffler, lotsa junk parts that don't fit.

week and fully HALF its oil...

Who is brave enough to tell me? :-) by
Al[_10_]
The "break in" process for an air cooled engine has any many
explanations as there are actual air cooled engines. <g> I am always
listening for those who have actually done it, and succeeded, so if
you have, I would like to hear from you.
A brief synopsis: Just did a 'top end' rebuild of a Type IV...

How long were ACVW's designed to last? by
P.O.W.
10 years. I know they used to award a badge if your engine made it to
100,000 km... 60,000 miles.

Rear diagonal arm -- fasterner question by
Remco
I'm looking to take my 72 rear diagonal arm off. With the tranny out,
the frame is almost bare so taking this piece off gives me a good
chance to get rid of all the rust and re-paint it all.
That 17" allen bolt is to be "peened" according to Bentley.. What does
