I agree with Russ -- you should pop off your valve covers and do a visual inspection. The 1600 upright in my '63 Beetle needs to have the valve covers removed to get just a little more room when installing the engine. I sure was surprised when an install knocked off one of the rocker shaft clips -- noisy, etc. Hm, I also had a spark plug fly out once on my '71 Squareback somewhere in the middle of Missouri, on a trip from Phoenix to Michigan. Sudden loss of power and lots of noise. Not clicky, though. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
