    Thanks for the reply from the voice of reason.  I always end up looking
for the most complicated problem that is causing the trouble.  Like the time
I thought an injector cap (little alum. hat) got sucked into my engine during
fuel injector seal replacement.  I panicked.  It turns out, there was never
any hat on it to start with.  Someone must have replaced it with a Rabbit
injector or something.  I was having visions of bent valves, scored pistons
etc.  When I go off the deep end, feel free to reel me in...

BTW, you can *bet* I'm going to check my hood hinges tomorrow!!
