Re: [T3] Compression Woes

<x-flowed>I forgot to mention that one stud started coming out
when I was taking the head nuts off. Top forward right.
I'll torque it to see if it is stripping and check the
other ones as well.

The right head is a genuine VW head.

On the top rear of the head is an opening, about 13mm in 
diameter, that looks like something should be attached
otherwise it is open to whatever may fall in there.
What is supposed to be there. The front top of this head
is a threaded boss, which I assume it for a later T3.

> > BTW, you should also make sure the case studs aren't pulling out. To test them, 
you actually need to overtorque them and make sure they don't strip. Don't 
overtorque too much, perhaps 5 ft-lbs, but someone else here may know the rule 
of thumb. You need to do this because the studs actually get tighter when the 
engine is warm.

Of course, once you're actually assembling your engine you should torque them 
to the factory spec. <<
