Hey, i'm slowly building a page with "Odd & Strange" thing i see... mostly on Vanagon's and some Bus's... Lately, i posted about "Not seeing" cracked heads, well, i was wrong: http://www.benplace.com/odd/odd_head1.jpg There is also other main componant that crack... almost scary: http://www.benplace.com/odd/odd_cyl1.jpg A... different Vanagon: http://www.benplace.com/odd/odd_acvan1.jpg More info on that page: http://www.benplace.com/ugly_stuff.htm Not all is funny, the cracked cylinder is for me, a new problem, i have waited to post about that for some time, but i didn't want to scare anyone, but in 2 month, i have seen 2 of those on different van and engine. So this is a new possibility for bad conbustion, coolant-oil mix, low compression, high pressure in the cooling system. maybe some of you have seen that before. But, i also want to put some cool stuff on that page, so if you have a cool, different, funny or scary picture, send it to me with a text, i will fill that page of it.... i have many of my own also just waithing to go there Cheers, Ben http://www.benplace.com/vw2.htm |
