I do the same thing to get the rods on/off, but it helps to have a way to hold the crank still. I clamp a flywheel in a big vice and then attach the crank to it. At least this keeps half the parts from moving around. OHOH, I only tried plastigauge once and haven't done it again in years. There just doesn't seem to be any point with VW bearings. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
