Is there a hose that actually lets air out of the engine when you are driving? (I'm wondering if there is some chance that the breater hose just connects to the VCs and that you pulled something off to check to see if the breather was working. There must be a path from inside to outside (or air intake) via the breather in order for the breather to work properly. If this is fine, how's the crankshaft end play? > BTW, I took out my brushes today and cleaned as best I could the copper > shaft that spins. Well, I can now see copper shine through.

Until you get a voltmeter, you don't even know if you HAVE a problem. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
