I thought I posted this message early this morning but now I don't see it, so I'll describe what happened to my 80 Air Cooled Vanagon again. I went to start it yesterday, after it sat for the weekend, only to notice that is has a loud deep tapping sound. It's coming from 3&4 side of the engine. I recently had my upper end rebuilt back in Nov 99. I dread that it may be a rod knock. I can't afford any major repairs right now, do I was hoping for another cheap explanation. I haven't checked anything on it, except the oil, which is good. Guess I'll be spending my free time and money on my Vanagon again. :o) Rick ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com |
