everyday,  with the old engine. It's back end is all full of bike wheels,
etc...  I am going to hold off till the very last second to pull the motor
and make the block swap.  I am waiting on a "Power Steering delete" kit from
Techtonics Tuning...I want to have that in hand before I pull my motor so if
I need it it is here.  My last piece is a two into one collector 'blank'
that I just found on the Net. l'll order that tomorrow so I can fab up
something down to my current muffler,  to take advantage of the better Jetta
two hole exhaust header...which came right off (surprisingly) after a little
soaking with PB or  some such...

  The inside of the 2.0 looks pretty fresh..still shows some cross-hatching
on the cylinder walls and the head looked perfect.  No 'nasty' surprises so
far.
