Hehehe.... Well thank you to all that have chimed in on the subect. I can see how that crippled Vanagon with the Boxers nose just wont do! Thanks for the nice comments about my Scirocco. Rodolfo is a proud little bastard (the car) and Yeah 16V engines are notorious for their selfdestructive behaviour when it comes to their valves. As far as VW engines go My alliance trully goes towards the 8V types.

  again Thanks,

  Tony

Nothing would be stoooooopider than bending valves when I've *got* the part
to prevent it on-hand.

90K miles isn't too soon to change the belt, is it? :-)
