If either one of these is bad, the 1700# clutch was the worst thing to do. I doubt if it is the dowl pins unless someone has had the flywheel off and not retorqued it properly. You don't say if this is a stock engine. If it is, 4 dowls is plenty. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
