[Vwdiesel] B. R. --What would you do?

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

Hi Stephen;
	I believe Dave said he bought it to sell. ARP studs cost real money.
It apparently has 11mm head bolts. I would just put a new set of Gas Rabbit
11mm stretch bolts in it and send it on its way. They should outlast the
rest of the engine.

I say GIVE IT LIFE!

Nothing like a Frankenstien engine to give you price.

Oh, and get some ARP studs for it
