[T3] Pulled Engine Tin Revealations

[knowonelse <knowonelse@sbcglobal.net>]

<x-flowed>I pulled the engine since I needed to replace the
axle boots and check for mud wasp nests to find
that there was a good sized one attached over the
number one cylinder. In addition there was a paper
wasp nest and a large pile of seeds, probably stashed
there by a mouse.

I have run this engine and this is the material that
remains, and from experience on my non-VW truck, I
decided to pull the tin and clean it up. I had a
mud wasp nest on my exhaust manifold on my truck and
it just stayed there until I knocked it off.

I uploaded a couple pictures to thesamba showing this
and one that shows the foam on top of the oil cooler.
There was a large mud wasp nest above the number 4
cylinder that made it difficult to install the spark
plug. Images are at:
