You may end up twisting the crankshaft? Just a thought... Time to get inventive with a length of right angle bar and bolts. Utilise the two holes in pulley and the front lifting eye bolt. Or the engine stand. Stand on one engine stand lower arm and get a helper to crank with minimum 3/4 drive and sc...

I've heard of people sitting them in vinegar but not sure I'd wanna do that... the smell would drive me nuts for one. What about a la...

Golf AAG shares a lot of diesel components by all accounts.

Keep up the good work.

No reply. No happy ending. And no thanks.. :roll: Sadly this is getting very commonplace recently. What has happened to the usual high spirited camaraderie on this forum? I have noticed many of the regular names' have disappeared recently too.What is going on? Do l need to up my application of mouth...

Thanks David, Im pretty certain US Vanagon's run A/C with both size engines. JB Weld sorted today BTW. :ok So heads will be ready to get one final rub down, clean mating surfaces, and add fire rings with a spot of Holymar. Was suppose to be winging my way to see family. But big ( in age l mean ) sis...
