I'd like to thank Craig Torrens for sending me a U2U informing me that one of my heads was loose a few days after Valla. We (my Dad and I) were going mental trying to work out why it was running rough, sluggish and had no power. It was running on two-two and a half cylinders for about a month or so and all the way to Valla and back! So this past weekend we pulled the motor and fixed it right up, it's so good to have four cylinders working again.😠

...makes a big difference don't it!?

...almost as bigger difference as having a valve seat loose in your test engine (for your new EFI system) and wondering why it won't start:thumb

Loose heads have a sound all thier own... you learn to 'hear' it after a decade or two playing with VWs...😉 especially hi-po ones
