Bummer indeed, but it was more likely that the damage was done by the fact that an upright engine installed in a type 3 will usually die from overheating because the only air it can pull in to cool itself is warm air from around the engine. You will be MUCH better off with a type 3 engine that is set up to draw in cool air thru the bellows in the rear. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
