Netters; I'd suggest that those of you who slammed Bob Hoover go out and do a Google search on "Sermons" or "Bob Hoover's Sermons". Or go to the Jeanie's Teenie/Teenie Two site and read everything that Mr. Hoover has written. Then if you still think that he is a junkyard dog or a sourpuss, I think your problem exists somewhere behind your keyboard.
You may have your opinions about the air-cooled VW flat four, and you may have extensive experience working on VWs, but unless you have the experience that Bob Hoover has you'd better sit down and listen when he speaks/writes instead of tapping out flippant things at the keyboard. The man has knowledge and ability, and some very useful and important building tips, for every VW engine overhauler or converter. He knows how to build them to live long and useful lives and knows the weak points of the engine. And I daresay that he is among the very few living VW mechanics that I would classify as the expert's expert. Yes, there are two Bob Hoovers. I've seen the aerobatic pilot Hoover fly his engine-out Shrike routine (and yes, he did taxi right up to the review grandstands power-off after completing his routine) and I've read the Sermons of the "other" Bob Hoover. I respect them both and believe that anything that "Veeduber" takes the time to post to this list deserves my complete attention. I also think it deserves *your* attention. Listen/read and learn.
