Did you try to get some oil in there? That makes a big difference, but sometimes there's no other way out. Some replacement heads have the boss under #4 exhaust as well as the other one on top. If you have the upper boss (feel above the valve cover) then a hole in the tin there is a very nice improvement over the OE 68-9 location. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
