I just put a new longblock in my square, and during installation I noticed the same issue, though not to that degree. All you need to do, AFTER you have made sure that the block is at #1 TDC is just pull out the dist drivestaft enough (you dont have to pull it out all the way) to reset it in the proper location. Just look at the bottom of the dist with the rotor pointed at the notch, and reset the drive shaft so that it will be in the correct location. Remember that the driveshaft rotates slightly during installation. Also keep in mind that you will need to have enough room to rotate the dist to set the timing. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe </x-flowed>
