[Vwdiesel] Ring Break-In and Oil Consumption

[H . Hagar.]

I Hagar knows Gavrik Peterson   personally  and I am familiar with his Diesel Rabbit.

IMHO   he is a perfectionist   ----  and a real  analytic type.  So in the end I predict he
will have a nice running 1,6L NA  ---using little fuel and using little or NO
lube oil.

On the issue of "Perfection"   ---James Hansen should like this one  --     :     In  BC
was a trucking outfit called Joshnson Terminals  ---an outfit running a lot of long distance
trucking.
After the funeral of Lester F Mitchell  his son phoned me to thank me for being there,.
Then we talked Diesels.   ---He operates some big Caterpillar powered Loaders.

He told me   that when Jonhson Terminals got a brand new truck --they removed the engine 
and ripped the engine apart. Then they took crankshaft to Allied Rebuilders  Vancouver BC for
"Ballancing"   he mentioned 6000 RPM  ---- so now we know why those VW cranks has all
those really small drill holes ?.      I bet the VW cranks are ballanced to 10 000 RPM..

By some crazy  devine manipulation  I was sent to a Lecture on  dynamic and static
ballancing  by a big corporation.--so I am not unaweres of a lot of   ---so many times Phi ?
.. Summary can a DIY fanatic do ballancing ?   ----absolutely. I have done lots.

Gavrik I wrote a big answer to your question and then the POWER failed.  A twig fell on
the 15 000 Volt line.
First find out where the oil goes. ----then let us know.  Measure exact use per 1000 miles.
and let us know.  And yes change to  run in oil  and give her hell. Normally rings seat in a
matter of  miles not thousands.       ---More on this later.     Loren now  you have a reader in South
Africa.  that   makes UK. Finland,Norway ,Sweden -----Canada  ,USA  ----and more.

After the power wiped my thread about Rings ? --shit I did not feel like writing it again..

By the way I just love the CNN story about the kid driving to school on a farm tractor.--
how about you James Hansen ?  ---    the SPIRIT to DO   --is what is important   ----
Im with the wasserman kid in toledo OHIO.----show the bastards.   ----I will get to SCHOOL.
Bus or no Bus.---snow or NO snow. come hell and high water. I predict the kid will wind
up with a  SUV   soon.----for free. or a snowmobile ?

Ring seating ?  ----IMHO   a very complicated issue.  ----we can do it ?  EH.?.

Hagar.

PS :       I am afraid you will have to put up with my memories of 1945.  for a while.
60 years ?  and my memories are as clear as chrystal.  05  May 1945 exactly where was I ?
Korsvejen Skole  Amager Denmark --- yes I did go to school  ---BUT the Gestapo told
the English teacher to easy on us or else --so I flunked..
