Main bearing pinched on a dowel pin.
Trying to cheap out on headwork. That one part you didn't replace. Thinking you know more about cooling tin, flaps, T-stat, etc., than VW/Porsche.... |

Thinking you know more about cooling tin, flaps, T-stat, etc., than VW/Porsche.... Love it -- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Can't tell you how frustrating it is to see so many 914's that have had cooling flaps pulled over the years. |
