Re: [T3] 71 Fasty Engine help? Please, if there is a VW God Please HELP!!!


I put this thing up on a lift to get a better view of things and it appears
there is a Very Bad oil leak coming from the head gasket on the passenger
side (assuming that the head gasket is between where the coiling fins meet
together)  I am not a mechanic just fairly mechanically reclined)..lol

A Bentley no...A Haines manual to boot.  Bentley costs about 60 bucks and
will have to wait til next month...no more money left in this month's
budget.   :(

Um I am loosing alotta patience with this thing...I need it as a daily
driver for two weeks and then I will have one of my others outta the shop.
I have reached the end of my rope.

The car runs but feels like it it is pulling a load of something
