Ron, very good treatise on this subject.   Where do you find the time to
write ?  Anyways,  all of that is  absolutely true and that's the reason I do not
sell my rebuild engines, _VW Waterboxer Engine  Rebuilding_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/engines.htm) , to ANYONE unless I do the install and initial break
