Re: [T3] Stupid Question...

["HenryVW" <henryvw@ij.net>]

The bus is a type 2 regardless of the motor. 72 and up have type 4 motors .
As far as I am concerned that is when VW started screwing everything up.
Despite what RJ says T-4 motors suck . Late t-4 motors have hydrolic valves
or something like that, but those are for people who are to lazy to adjust
thier valves. Like I always say " throw an upright in it" ,, Unless of
course it is a t-3.
