When I started playing with VW,s in the 60,s I,d only use Beru or Bosch
plugs. Now a days I have heard from different sources that NGK plugs are by
far the best. Anyone got any idea what makes a plug so much better than
another and are NGK,s better? You would think if the heat ...

Got a question.
Hydraulic lifters on a 1600.
Adjust the screw till it just touches the valve stem and tighten down how
much??

I'm an evil terrorist and I want to blow you up.For that purpose, I
need to build a car bomb with my VW. Where can I place the bomb, so
that I can cause maximum damage.
Please help me and you will die more quickly,

God Jul!
A Merry Christmas to you all from a snow free Norway!

Still have to put up the lattice and a couple of gates under the deck
and redo a small portion of upper handrail...  and do the risers on
the steps.  But the deck is now 100% usable.  Hopefully I'll

I did this beetle in 94 and know its been stored since then, the
enging that was in it was a 2384? (as I remember)  It was to fast for
the street.

Eventually my 1977 beetle is going to need a new engine and I am now

Guys,

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

So how's the beetle?  Still stock?  How's the new garage?  Full of tools
and a workbench?

I was watching my '73 Beetle idle the other day.
The crank pulley appeared to wobble a bit as if it were warped.
Is this going to hurt anything?
Thanks In Advance!

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.

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
