[Vwdiesel] '81 Rabbit questions

[mikitka]

My 91 ECO jetta pumps out heat in as little as 2 miles down the road, by the
time I hit 3 it is running at normal temps. The heat coming from the heater
I relate to the coolant running straight from the head to the heater core,
but then I could be wrong but it makes sense. All I know is it gets nice and
toasty quick and I don't mind one bit. :)

  I've had two different Rabbits come to me that had 107-A 
pumps and were timed to .88mm.  Ran really sluggy.  Never 
had one run hot from timing issues but then I alway set the 
timing right!  Did drive ONE, an '81 that was cranking out 
good heat in just a few blocks.  I was leary that it had a 
blown head gasket and price was a little too high anyway.
This was long ago before I achieved Guru status.  ;-D
