[Vwdiesel] Progress!

[Mark Shepherd]

I'm actually getting things done!  Turned the Subadon't back
into a
Subado, new crank bearings in the scooter and even fixed the
carb
weep.  Got that 80mpg US (96mpg Imperial?) back!

...What's this a motorised Zap scooter type thing,  or a
water jet ski?

    #1 also had ALL the rings nearly in line!  Even the
3 piece oil ring had all three pieces lined up better than
if I'd tried to!
#2 had all the end gaps within less than 90 of eachother
with the top
two rings almost in line.  I KNOW I didn't put them in that
way!  Kinda
'splains the oil usage!  New valve stem seals are simply an
attempt to
thwart Murphy's law before it attacks.

...More 'pinned' ring research needed...:o)

Got a job offer today too.  Kind of a little of everything
at a carpet
store about an hour away.  Good friend to work with but it's
a bit of a drive and
with fuel prices...  Plus I haven't worked regular hours for
about 15 years.
