[Vwdiesel] Hillbilly Tuning ---( a friendly discussion )

[Chuck Carnohan]

Scribe marks? I like to use a piece of that green masking tape. Clean
the area well, cut a piece of tape just the right length and press in on
across the IP and bracket.  Then with a sharp blade, cut the tape at the
junction b/t mount and IP. When you move the pump you can see exactly
how far it has been moved. The tape will stay there for many months
depending upon the weather.

  But if you NOW check what the dial indicator shows then you'll be able
to set it right back up after a timing belt change and it might give a
little

insight as to how far in which way it took to get you where you like it.
Would be a starting point for others as well.

Hagars bit :     Loren using Bunny Bondos  numbers on anybody but her
--would be TIMING.
not---------------TUNING.----every  --little darling has her own numbers
---like finding a
woman's button.--did I find the MAGIC button --on the two unusual
(crazy) sisters ?  that
is affirmative. NO flowers try a bag of Cat chow.

This is mainly for NEWBIES  so let me start by saying  check under
Phantasmagoria.--Injector pumps- ----- Hillbilly  TUNING timing etc etc.
Reading Loren as
well----IMHO  all good classes -start with getting a foot in the
door.---Get by Loren and
you will be Smileaging in to the sunset.---The filling stations going by
in a blur.--( and
wearing out the front bearings in no time ).

A newbies worst nightmares ?  --Towtrucks and Stealerships. ---have no
fear  Hagar is
here.

Damage to pump and melting of pistons will NEVER happen under
"Hillbilly Tuning"---you
have my personal guarantee.----No dial indicator required  --but handy.
--- If  TUNING is
so great why does the Mechanics not use it ???? good question  --(some
use parts of
t)  ---too time consuming for a shop to do.

IF you do not find HILLBILLY TUNING on that Old Rabbit or Jetta --FUN ?
--do not
start---it is   --------addictive to experimenters.
Why so much talk about Luke and Harry --and Princess Lea  ? ---the
spirit the force that's
why.

About getting the pump back to starting point ? --if you are stuck ?
--remember that fine
line we made --with a needle ---works just like the lines on your
machinist
caliber.---piece of Apple Pie.
The starting point is ALL timing marks, the VW and Bosch marks lined
up.be fuzzy.

That was clear as mud ---scribe a line before you do pump.   I did not
mention too much
about PO screwups ----that is why I ignore all previous
TIMING.----beware of PO nonsense.

Hagar.

PS :   changing timing belt was never simpler.
