Damn, I'm still looking for those parts. On Friday I went to look at a 412 with automatic trans that is listed on The Samba for $600. The car started right up and we drove it around the parking lot (no registration) and then backed it into the parking slot. I look at the engine and it its dirty with some oil on the underside, not too much really. I asked about the compression and was told that the engine had 150 on all four cylinders. I mentioned the gas heater and asked if it ran but the shop guy had no clue about it so I said lets hop in and see if it will fire up. We get in and with the heat lever up, turn the switch and nothing:( So I'm thinking that maybe it needs to be running and ask the guy to start the car again. As he does this I am looking out the back and see a huge cloud of whitish smoke. I check the oil and the level is almost a quart too high and smells heavily of gas. I'm trying to decide on whether to make an offer for this beast and wonder what the list consensus would be on the fuel in oil? Bad rings or just gas flooding into the cylinders at shutdown and leaking into the oil? Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Richard Green Subject: Re: [T3] who's doing Type 3 work this weekend?
