That oil film, as dirty and ugly as it is, keeps things from rusting, and even if it didn't, once you got it all cleaned off it would just come back eventually. There's a certain equilibrium point for dirt on an engine. Unless you need to tear it down to rebuild it, or find that there is a leak that needs your attention, just leave it alone. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
