<< And you'll have to excuse me for this...I'll be damned if I ever buy another 16V. The next car is NOT going to have an interference engine. And that is the end of it. I can't afford this kinda stuff, and my luck with 16Vs is way too consistent to be anything but an omen. Now, where was that Volvo Turbo I saw in the paper for $1200... >> I have to tell you that I have busted 3 timing belts in my time and it is then I feel well justified (albeit slower) in keeping my 8 valve cars. Every time I broke one it cost me about 20 bucks for a new belt and a couple hours of my time. Non-interference engines kick A#$%, They're a lot like women. Not as much fun as the high maintenance ones, but a whole lot cheaper and easier to deal with when the sh#%@ hits the fan. (read: no cops involved in the breakup, lawyers, splitting up expensive houses, etc.). When an 8-valve woman is kicked to the curb, she asks for $30.00 for a bus pass and cigarettes, and heads home to her mother--nice and simple-like:) Philip _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
