[Vwdiesel] Re-Ringing a Rabbit for beginners. -- ( good advice.)

[H.Hagar]

Remember to set Piston #  1  at TDC   before installing Head.

If you forgot  no problemo   ---- do as follows.  Turn cam and crank at the same time
to get things right.
There will be a bit of touching valve and piston  --move slowly with two
wrenches.

And  NEVER NEVER turn engine with the starter (Bart are you listening?)  until
you turned the engine over say 4 times by hand.   If valves hit you will feel it.

I am afraid Bart forgot that part.     Remember cam rotates half the speed of crank.

Hagar.

PS: I got an engine where PO had installed head in the wrong posistion.
---   by LUCK  I wanted to see if it was rusted solid. So I turned it by hand
and got a valuable education.
