Did you check the compression?

This is the ONLY correct way to fit oversize P/Cs. Rimco does a good job of this. Have 8mm case savers installed at the same time. When you put your engine back together, be sure to remember that the torque spec for the 8mm studs is different from the 10mm ones. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
