[Vwdiesel] More missing parts!

[Erik Lane]

Are you really sure that the timing is at .61mm? I ask because here in
the states the common dial indicators are in inches, and then the
correct lift is something around .034-.036 inches at TDC, and it goes
up some from there. So if you're only seeing .61 something at max lift
then it could be you have an indicator that measures thousands of an
inch and not hundredths of a mm.

Just something to check.
