Jimbo's post is absolutely correct. I just wanted to mention that it can be dangerous to turn the engine over with the dist out. If you really MUST do it, then turn it BACKWARDS. Otherwise it is possible for the rotation of the crank to push the drive gear up and out of position, and it can jam in a place that can be almost impossible to corrrect. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
