BELLHOUSING BULIMIA (HARD STATING -- Diagnosis Bellhousing Cracked) Turn key, much click, no turnover, battery full; storm around on foot full of angst; throw up with fear; try again; van start) I drove my van around for years like this and it just got harder and harder to start. I am not trying to start a new conversation about these pictures, but putting this in here for the archives. The one at the end is a wacky kind from South Africa which I guess fit Tiico or Diesels or 5-cylindar audi engines, but seem a little suspect of a fit on a syncro because the starter would hit the gas tank, I am guessing. There apparently is a version of these with the starter on the side, however for 4WDs. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jFaWkNB1Gzg/ToCiYD_WP8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/qKnHvqolAcs/s480/IMG_0410.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jFaWkNB1Gzg/ToCiYD_WP8I/AAAAAAAAAAU/qKnHvqolAcs/s480/IMG_0410.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1iwQl6HRzTg/ToCiYF87PhI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JqB0ggBDAbs/s480/IMG_04111.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1iwQl6HRzTg/ToCiYF87PhI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JqB0ggBDAbs/s480/IMG_04111.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HX_MoYsKuzU/ToCiYL3ebfI/AAAAAAAAAAU/oHfrNQfOHKk/s480/IMG_0412.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-j_c3OoASw_k/ToCiYLIQqvI/AAAAAAAAAAU/VLfeg-h22kw/s480/IMG_04131.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-b3JPcHj5Gpc/ToCiYLkpY6I/AAAAAAAAAAU/bvkfQgVgltw/s480/IMG_0414.JPG https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Rxr9ktkySxE/UqNgClzK-9I/AAAAAAACQd8/ZCc3rqRjeOk/s296/SA_Bellhousing.jpg
