[Vwdiesel] No start leakdown check

[Area31 Research Facility]

Nick,

That sure is a dart in the bum.  Sorry for the trouble you are having.

About the set of rings.  The jobbers in my area want about $110.00 for a set
of rings after taxes.  I figure that is pretty stupid to the tune of at
least $85.00.  All things in Canada seem to be priced outa sight like this.
No wonder I do most of my hardware shopping at the local landfill site!

Rob
