God I love the classics. I just adjusted my valves today for the first time and let me tell you the Cap'ns way is the only way. I had a VW type 1 before and adjusting valves sucked even with an indexed flywheel. Man 30 minutes and I was done.

Just made me want to say THANK YOU (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

to

The Cap'n, Jim Thorusen, DDD, and others who wrote the article.

I am sure that I will be thanking many others in the near future as well, but had to let them know personaly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)



Also doesn't it feel good to pour fresh oil in after adjusting your valves and know that you are doing your engine right


gets me kinda misty

I gotta go before my keybord shocks me

Aside from all the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


I too used the Cap'n valve adjustment and found it easy and fast to do.

I have never worked on a T4 before and was happy to see that it worked the first time just fine.

Thanks Cap'n

Darn, Eric beat me to it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Best thing about crusty is that he has a passion for these cars, he gets heated up about them and shows it in his discussions, but doesn't loose his sense of humor. As long as he can take a ribbing once in a while he's OK in my book.

K&N filter, didn't the captain say that running an air filter on a type 4 was a waste of time and that these engines don't need filters at all?

Maybe I misunderstood him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
