[T3] More 2.0lt banter and other stuff


Despite what people say, im going with a low compression 2276 (82x94) the
wheels are already in motion, the case im going with is a type 1 case, but
im using the type 3 cooling arrangement, but like i said im keeping the
compression ratio a little on the low side (if too low, ill fix that), so im
going with a very mild cam and cb heads and a welded fan (just in case,
since ive heard all the stories about fans disintigrating).  I know im a
little crazy but i think this might work even though im battling the vegas
heat

Just throw this one out as well-----  I had a stock motor rebuilt a few
years back from a local Vdub shop (wont throw out any names) and this was
THE hottest stock motor u have seen!!  My car redeemed the name Auchawitz
wagon since when inside it, u could feel your skin sizzle, and actually see
the heat radiating from under the car along with smoke (oil drips on the
heat exchangers), amazingly this car never gave up, put an estimated 60000
miles on the thing, and only adjusted the valves for the first year (after
that i wasnt expecting much more out of it) but it never gave up, i ended up
retiring it on my own.

On a seperate note, whats the best method of getting the axle nuts off??
Im used to an air compressor and an impact, but i dont have those
commotities any longer....... i was pricing name brand 3/4 inch drive
breaker bars, and they look pricey (around 80 clams) and garage secrets
besides that hammer thing??
