Hey guys. Just wanted to lighten the mood a bit.
I honestly appreciate all the advice all you "regulars" post. So keep it up guys. The information you guys have about VW's NEEDS to be passed on. So yeah. Here's to you fellas.

Easier to get a water pump for your aircooled VW.

You'll need a water hammer to install that!

Easy fix: use your metric crescent wrench & left-handed screwdriver.

I'm not sure how compression works.
Turbos don't produce torque, they produce HP. Instead of torque.
The real problem with NA engines is you don't hear the nice whine of the turbo as it spools up.
Before I commit, I'm going to do more research because I don't really know what piston rings are. |

Don't worry that clutch belt is suppose to slip but only at low speed.

Go Kale yourself!
I always soak my clutch belts in a bucket of steam for a few minutes before installation.
Now back to breakfast...what did I do with my eggshell separator?
