I write  this mostly to explain to Bart Wineland   why we ask him to look
at a lot of things..

Examples :  PO : Brakes were DONE ---right they were done in.   PO :

it is a 5 speed  --- was a 4. (but I had already paid for it)    PO :  Regular oil-changes were done --
my blotter test produced a TOBYS ASS.-----and on and on.

Bart and ALL  (beginners)  :     The reason for the dipstick test of # 1. Piston
is to verify that flywheel TDC mark is in the right position.
Normally a flywheel is pinned for one position.  BUT enter the PO curse.
We have members who knows of timing marks being in the wrong place.  Making
TIMING a difficult job. ----   I just make a new mark --never had to so far.
Must be a very rare sickness on a Rabbit.       

Hagar.

PS :   For a good hillbilly TUNER   ?   NO mark needed.
