If your any stems were sticking out significantly farther than the others, this would indicate a problem, probably of the valve seat sinking into the head. If something like this is happening, you would want to pull the engine and check everything out. It might result in a simple valve job, or maybe replacement of the head. > Btw, the valve stems are those "springy" looking deals that stick out > when the rockers are out? The ends of the valve stems are actually just the little silver "dots" in the center of the springs. They are 8mm (5/16") in diameter. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
