Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


I've read Boston Bob's piece on lifters and it is very good and well
explained.
I am hereby stating that I agree with the basic ideas that he is setting out.
NOWHERE does his treatise on the lifter really say that VW is WRONG about 2
turns in on a "normal" engine.
I believe he is quite clear that SOMETIMES some engines will have a problems
that can be traced to collapsed lifters..( and I'm thinking low oil
pressure-large clearances elsewhere)
There are few details that I could debate and we do perform some types of
testing differently (compression gauge? what's that???<grin>) but unless you
are having problems don't INVENT problems....
are we all happy now?
