Any chance that this is my problem? I think broken springs should be rather easy to spot when you adjust the valves. Weak springs will give you valve float at high RPM and poor valve head cooling. Both would probably work fine at low RPM. I don't think hesitation would follow from either of these. Poor power, might though. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
