Bryan,

Right...I've got a full 1.9NA overland, block and head.

These days, it's hard to find someone (mechanic, shaman, monk, or 
otherwise) that really knows how to set a VW Diesel. I *do* have a 
mechanic that *does* know how, but sometimes I like to do my own work.

Now that I can see the change on the dial gauge, I'm gonna set the timing. 
I have heard from more than one source that 1.00 is better than the Bently 
suggested .88 (and that is for a 1.6NA, but I don't think there should be 
a big difference between the 1.6 and 1.9NAs).

I'll let folks know what happens when I set it right.

Jon
