Then you can get all the tin sandblasted and painted and get the case and goodies all cleaned up. I kind of discourage people from getting an old engine too clean. All that oil on things is often keeping the rust at bay. Seriously, you really don't want to get everything all clean and then discover a year later that now the rust look much worse than the oil ever did. Plus the rust is irreversible. Consider spraying it with oil and wiping it off. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
