[Vwdiesel] The '81 Rabbit is alive

[David Cook]

Bryant-

Assuming I can get the headgasket for my car by next
Saturday like we talked about, if we could possibly
meet in Topeka at my Parents house, then I could bring
my diesel timing tools, as well as the stuff to
check/set the valves, etc then we could probably also
work on yours that same weekend, check the timing,
etc.

You could either take a gamble and drive it to Topeka
with the old t-belt, or I can tell you how to change
the belt without changing the current timing setting
and then we can fine-tune it that day.

Maybe we could talk Rick into joining the fun and
helping us both out?
