You know I've been hearing about this "tin" that some have on their engine. I thought it was like "emergency savings" and "hurricane survival" kits, you know nobody really has em. My 2.1 is butt naked, I can see her sexy push rod tubes whenever I like. Is it in my best interest to dress her with some tin? > Date: Sat, 5 Jul 2008 19:49:17 -0700> From: vanagon_dad@SBCGLOBAL.NET> Subject: Re: Tin Trivia> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > I have the spare set from my parts van.
