one unloaded set and one garbage set she wouldn't sell, so it was for
good reason) varga calipers I'm just itching to put on my Ghia.  My
question is, should I apply brake grease anywhere and if so, where?  ...

Who knows how many turns of the steering wheel there should be from side to
side in a Beetle with worm and roller steering? I don't see it in the
Bentley or Muir. I'm trying to do a few adjustments after a front end
accident. I've replaced the right side tie rod (complete) and ...

Just acquired a 68' Westy. Restored body and paint, rebuit engine and
many other upgrades. Of course, as one would expect, the heater smells
like exhaust. As I am not going to drive the vehicle in the colder

My '71 Super is exhibiting strange behavior. It won't idle and there is a
loud high pitched whine which sounds like it is coming from the voltage
regulator. Both problems appeared when I took the car out of storage last

I've had a leak under my engine for a long time and been unable to find
the source untl now.  I cleaned the engine bottom and let it set for a
couple of weeks.  The only oil drops are from the plug in the case to

Hi guys, my question is a simple one, is there a way to tell from the
outside (or by removing the oil pump) if an engine has a flat or dished cam?
My engine is a stock 1300 with a mexican block, brazilian oil pump and all
sort of replaced parts, so I don't even know what exactly ...
