Andrew   this time your thread was perfect here.    to scroll up and down is easy 
but left and right ?  on and on and on -?  PITA.


I am not too swift on these new fangled devices ---so I can only say that I get by
using the enter key.

Just the same I like computers ---never get impatient or mad or frustrated.  They do
steel my time away from fixing the roof --lol.    One more winter with
buckets on the floor.

And to those of you who sent me PM's cheering me up in sickbay --Thank you.
A small prayer wouldn't hurt either.

We have a High Octane kid on the block ---I forget who his is .  But James Hansen is big 
in racing and he asked me about octane boosting.  I have used a lot of 145
octane in my time --so I know that level is possible. And for racing that should
work pretty good. ---- Toluene ? Exylene ?    Pure octane is 100  so something
higher than Octane is needed.  --or a chemical like lead. I wonder if Tetra-ethyl lead
is still to be found ?.  I shall find out.
Pricey James --I bet.  ---but if you want to come in first ? go barefoot.

Cam seals ?  all the seals here are red silicone very soft rubber so they seal well.
Even if reused.  Use a little silicone seal from a tube if in doubt.  The way I remember
VW uses a labyrinth there.      By the way newbies   do not do like I did ---
start the engine with no VC. -------oil got on to timing belt --and was thrown all over the 
place.  Paints a nice straight black line in driveway. and on your white shirt.

Hagar.

PS:  Tide ?  whiter than white ?  bullshit.
