Ok, so no respopnses about the Bosch 050... So last summer I had to rebuild my '76. (2.0, Feul inject...) I had never done anything like that. Fortunately, at the important steps like assembling the crankcase, I had a local (Aspen, Col.) VW guru help me out. He was so helpful. If you are ever in town, look up Jim Hayes. After I got everything going, it ran fine. But it ran HOT (like 350-375 head temp) and the compressionwas not so good, like 90's all around. Now, I know that these are the most vague symptoms possible. Anything could be wrong. The only mistake that I am aware of is that I mismatched the new cylinders with their pistons. Despite these symptoms (heat and compression) being about the most vague problems possible, I'd like to know what I can do or check. I have done the standard tune-up about 5 times. Also, it was driven 1000 miles, so I think everything is "broken in." I was thinking of taking it to a local VW mechanic back in Indiana and just saying - Whenever you have time in the next 4 weeks, look this over. Any suggestions? Jesse Reynolds
