I guess I'm gonna have to go back and take another look. Was this one of the early cases that have the cam bearings cut right in the case? Did you know that RIMCO can bore those to take the late bearings? Or was it a non-metallic cam gear? I looked at the photos again and I really can't see the bearing saddles, and the cam gear looks pretty much the same as the late ones. Can anyone else pick out what Russ is thinking of? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
