IIRC, the source of the problem in the T4 world is the lifters, and it's been going on since Johnson went under a few years back -- they were the ones who actually *made* most of the lifters on the market regardless of whose name was on the box. I know Raby's been throwing a bunch of R&D time & money at the lifter issue, built a testing fixture, has been experimenting with coatings, different lifter blanks .. didn't know he'd found an actual solution to the problem. Things've been awful quiet from him lately, but he's got a lawsuit going on (relax, he's on the "giving" end of the suit!) which has a lot to do with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
