I love when people make comments based on emotion without the benefit of
intellect (or first-hand knowledge for that matter).

Cheers,

Jeff

Contacy Jeffrey about that Mike.
So many opinions, such little actual experience...
---------------------
I've never seen wrist pin tick in any of the Vanagons, VW typeI , II or IV
engines I owned or worked on.
I've seen it in Fords, Subaru and many Diesel.
Also common on Briggs and Stratton engines.
