ATF (or diesel fuel) will attract any water in the cylinders. >>>Didn't know that. Assumed it was done with ATF as the viscosity is high, and the density is low, so it seeps into tiny cracks and lubricates better than regular oil would. Hopefully, you would pump the ATF out before putting the spark pugs back in. >>>I have only ever done the ATF thing to save the block, I've never tried to start a motor that was so seised that I'd needed to do that to free the motor. This is a boat salvage trick - >>>I will remember this... Don't know why, as living in Phoenix if I ever had to do this, it'd probably mean people like Robert Braun had shaken into the Pacific! 8^) ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
