Your heads overheating is another story... but there's no > way that was caused by synthetic oils, either. Keith and I have been round and round with this. His devoutly believes in it, but I agree with you that it is without any good basis. What is clearly true is that Keith had a really bad engine failure with piston and bearing problems while he was using synthetic oil. Keith thinks it is cause and effect. Shad and I agree that there must have been another cause, or that it was just a coincidence. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
