[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[William J Toensing]

I did look at my dial gage & it is marked in millimeters I checked it against a metric wrench & it seems to read OK. It is marked 0 to 10 MM & the large dial reads in .01 mm increments. Took the valve cover off again, locked the cam, inserted the IP locking pin, but found there was enough slop in the locking pin that I could move the flywheel about an inch contra clockwise, & bring the flywheel TDC mark which had disappeared, back to TDC, after loosening the cam nut. There also appears a slight amount of slop in the ca lock as the cam gear will move about 1/8 when tightening, if I am not careful. This must be why the Bentley recommends a feeler gage under the cam lock bar, which I haven't done before. Plan to work on the Quantum some more, tomorrow, if wife doesn't hit me with more "honeydos".
