Does anyone in the Seattle area own one of the specialized tools for pulling the piston wrist pin on a Waterboxer? If you have one of these goodies and are willing to lend I would be eternally grateful. Otherwise it's off to the VW dealer tomorrow to order one. Re-installing the cylinders on a Waterboxer is a pain in the posterior. They were too wedged into the cylinder head to leave them in place when I removed the right head to replace a poorly installed water jacket gasket (which was installed improperly 6K ago by a shop of good reputation in Berkeley!). Cheers. Rob It's never too late to have a happy childhood. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Scott, mailto:rob@unixguy.com Langley, Washington on Whidbey Island (a suburb with a moat) |
