Fwd: [Vwdiesel] DIY talk for beginners ---( learn a trick a day )

[Bart Wineland]

Good! Please don't give up on me, I mean well :)  I'm still hacking out 
here.  Did buy a '84 na engine Saturday that is my back up back up plan if 
I don't get anywhere with 'ol smelly soon, but that will lead to some more 
questions that I don't want to introduce yet. I did try backing off the 
fueling a little at a time on my engine and any change in it has an 
immediate bad affect on the idle and power. It runs best when I put it back 
to where the paint marks are that mark the original position. I will pull 
it all the way out and do as you suggest before I do anything else. I tried 
changing pump timing a pencil mark at a time each way but It is still using 
oil at a ridiculous rate. I'm talking full to off the stick in 100 miles 
now, and it is not leaking.   It is parked waiting for me.  I made a setup 
to compress the valve springs last night to get the keepers out. Practicing 
on a junk head I have and now I know how the seals and guides work (I 
think). If I don't see anything obvious I'll pull the head.
