Hi everyone Heard a story the other day about a VW engine expiring with a helluva bang and some smoke in the owner's driveway. After pulling the engine out and taking it apart, it turns out that the crankshaft had broken. Now, I haven't seen this motor myself so I don't know exactly where the crank had broken but how on earth does one manage to break the crank of a standard engine anyway? I have worked on this particular engine before and I knew that it needed some rings and maybe a top end overhaul, but there was no indication whatsoever that it was going to die so dramaticaly, so suddenly. What do you guys & gals think? Regards Adriaan Loedolff adriaan@norton.ctech.ac.za '69 Squareback Automatic
