ADJUSTING VW VALVES -- AGAIN by Bob Hoover
I get a LOT of mail about adjusting the lash on Volkswagen valves, and much of that mail comes from folks who are FLYING behind a converted VW engine, making it a valid topic for this Newsgroup. The basic message is that for an in-service engine you DO NOT use the adjustment procedure shown in the...

Faster engine warmup question. Help Please! by [email protected]
A few of the ac vw owners here that happen to be Puerto Rican, recommend removing the big curved rear engine tine so that the engine will heat up faster. By-the-way I'm not knocking Puerto Ricans. I was thinking of trying it for the cold weather. Then I would replace it in warm weather. My...

1961 Volkswagen Beetle/Type 1 by [email protected]
Was this a good year for the Beetle? What should people watch out for? How did Volkswagen squeeze out 4 more horse power out of the 1200cc from 1960 to 1961? What are the good points to this year Bug and what are the bad points? I'm thinking of buying one in original condition, mostly rust free.

Sofi Oksanen .... by Esko Rantanen
Neutriinojen oskillaatio pelastikin päivänpaisteen aivan hiljattain. Jo vuonna 1968 oli näet huomattu, että Auringosta tulee vain kolmannes niistä neutriinoista, joita sen säteilyn tuottaminen teoriassa edellyttää. Oli siis syytä epäillä, ettei auringonpaisteen alkuperää ymmärretty kunnolla....

It drives by [email protected][_1_]
Granted, it sounded like 8 angry woodpeckers were taking up residence in the engine bay, but it started, the two warning lights went out, and I went for a brief drive. It seemed to run okay, and when I stood on the throttle all 49 and a half ponies sprang to life and I rocketed to 40 miles an hour...

Kandomiitteri by Miro Uusitalo
BANG! Maailmankaikkeuden historia./Neutriino. Neutriinot ovat pieniä ja hyvin kevyitä hiukkasia. Niitä syntyy ydinfuusiossa, jotka toimivat tähtien (esimerkiksi Auringon, perusydinvoimalan) energian lähteinä. Useiden vuosien ajan neutriinojen oletettiin olevan massattomia, mutta nykyään tiedetään...

Could someone share their experiences with a Type 3 Fastback by [email protected]
I am interested in getting one. What was the last year for carburetor? What was the last year for the fancy override bumpers? Is the car easier to get into the drivers seat than the Beetle. Because the Beetle has the whole "A" pillar in the way of the legs when getting in. On the Type 3 is the...

I made a decision - going Electric by John J[_3_]
Got three ACVWs. Bodies are in great shape. The '72 has one very crapped out engine. Going electric on that one. I live in a small rural town. Should be just perfect. Oh, I'll include a gas heater. :) Anyone else?
