Good day Orma I have been following your engine history with great interest - particularly the excellent service you had in round one. (500+ hours?)
Is it correct to say that the suspected missing #4 bearing has emerged in the form of the rear part of the hub and that this is in fact an intrinsic part of the design? It appears to have worked very well. Are you not bothred by the recent utterings re the potential for failure at the non-drive end - even if the hole /threads are taken beyond the weak point in the crank. You seem to have the knowledge and experience in engines, why have you not taken this opportunity to drive off the drive-end of the VW. My comments are not intended as criticism, I am asuuming that there will be serious answers to these questions. Edward ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
