[Vwdiesel] Re-ringing a Rabbit --(the Wineland way )

[82 Diesel Westy]

Ya lost me on this one Hagar, what do you mean my
non-hydraulic block?
Are you calling a block with oil squirter's a
hydraulic block?
that would include the following blocks that I know of
as I have a 1.9D block and it has oil squirter.
1.6TD
1.9D
1.9TD

please clarify.
Thanks
Bryan
