[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 67. -----(starting da bubblemachine )

[Chuck Carnohan]

Yeah, well Chris- in real life "you get what you work for".  Pay
attention.  Respect your elders!  Golden Rules for Happy Dubbing (and
other life's pursuits as well).  My grandmother had a saying that rings
true in so many applications:  "If you keep your fist closed so tightly
that nothing can fall out, nothing can get in either".  I must say, CJT
vs. HH make this forum much more entertaining and enlightening!  Thanks
guys.

As one among the masses of the uniformed I have a question for you
all....  When an idiot takes the fly wheel off of a 1.6NA without noting
the aspect, how does this same fool get it back on where the timing mark
is as TDC?  I deserve the grief I receive for this one and it fully
exposes my novice-level of expertise (as if my previous entries haven't
already done that).  Thanks!

Chuck

Ever hear the phrase, "You get what you pay for?"

I am passionate about blottertest --- they work and do not cost.
Likewise
I am
promoting the " Bubblemachine"     --- liquid dish detergent works
better
than  "snoop".

Case history :    GM pickup right front wheel ---very slow leaker.   I
tanked the wheel
no sign of leaks.      ----    but it kept leaking on truck.

One day I was washing the truck  (using dish liquid) ------do not tell
your wife. Anyway  I soaped the front end ---and the phone rang.

Much later  (next day)   I noticed a patch of very small bubbles on
sidewall. It was  Leaking
only when sidewall was flexed.

Is it a good test for testing coolant systems for leaks to combustion
chambers.???   IMHO
IMHO   the best. ---    If you have to look for your Bunny in the
suds ----bingo  we have a leak.
Very funny --the amount of suds --- from a good leaker. Reminds me of
putting laundry soap in the dishwasher. 1 foot deep all over kitchen
floor.

Leak testing heat-shields ? ---- go soapy . (from a cold start)   Try
not to
get water on a running
hot injection pump..

Leaky windshields ?  ---sudsy has the answer.   Pressurize Bunny with
your
shop vac. Brush on
the liquid ----you will not fail to find the leak.

And what about that cute little grand daughter ??? let her blow a few
bubbles. Here it was little
"HOPE"   hopie to me ----Blowing bubbles is a lot safer than rolling
truck
wheels down the drive way across the highway. Now I am just a grumpy old
man.

Hagar.

PS:  I use the soapy test on all liquid cooled engines.-------problem or
no problem.
