I saw your correction re engine mount angles. Somewhat apples/oranges, but FWIW.... Intake and PVC valve removed, the valve cover on my ABA (2wd) is close to flush with deck. IIRC, the Syncro body's 2" higher. Injector pump etc. not withstanding, I wonder if you will have any engine lid interference? Check out the TDI forum here: http://tinyurl.com/6avq3t3 IIRC, there's pics showing 15* installs on Syncros. You will likely find more vendor info too. Is the 22* mount angle an option for reducing engine "height"? Neil. On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 9:15 AM, TJ Hemrick <x53gunner@gmail.com> wrote: > they will do just parts.
