The fact that it turned over and started tells us that you did not hydrolock your cylinders. What you saw coming out of your tailpipe was most likely water, the most common cumbustion product, although it was likely dirty. I would take it for a drive and burn off the oil which apparently got in your cylinders. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
