Re: A reply to Gross and a totally mundane question



First for Gross - Yes, I for one would like you to post regarding the lift
coefficient of  'ornithoptic' flight.  More specifically that pertaining to the
almighty bumblebee.  I have seen these wonderful creatures flying a B-line to God
knows where, no land in sight, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

And second, I am going to replace the timing belt on an NA I5 next weekend.  Being
poor because I own a 'Q' (more specifically 5kcdq born in 86 and called an 87) I
don't have the Bentley.  Soooooo....I'm looking at the Haynes.  This 'manual'
calls for removal of the vibration damper that has moocho torque to remove the
bolt requiring special tools ad nauseam.  Do I have to go through this goooo....or
can I simply loosen the water pump, turn it clockwise and take it from there?

All replies are appreciated, especially since I don't have any sources close at
hand (those that say they know...don't!).  I would go into details, but I won't
(save bandwidth for Mr. Payne-not a slight).

Best regards to all,

Geo
