Thanks Eric, you are right, I do know that equation from many years of
hard experience, and I am being somewhat tounge-in-cheek with my post,
it being Friday and all.

But I am going to do something, so, which conversion?  Ken Wilford's
Audi or the Eurospec kit are $5000+ by the time you are done, and will
lay up the van for weeks if I attempt either, but are still under
consideration.  I have no interest in Chevy, Subaru, or any other wild
ideas.  What did you convert to?

So, it is back to stock for my 2.1 if I am smart.  What did you do to
your three?  Sounds like broken rods went through the case.  How "trick"
did you make them?
