I can totally agree w/ the waste not want not attitude, but I wouldn't go near it w/ a 10ft stick. When I turned in 5 gallons of old gasoline that was ~$3.5/gal I got some weird looks, but my gasser's FI system wasn't worth risking for ~$20 of gas.

Thanks!

I'm guessing 8awg since that's what the g00g13 search seems to be spitting out, but I just wanted to double check before buying terminals that were too small.

It sounds like you reassembled it wrong, or that there's something wrong w/ that cv. There's a good post on vwvortex about it iirc, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe after a bit more searching...

Did you do anything to the cv halfshafts like rebuild them, or just pull one off to regrease it?

If you have both wheels off the ground, the one wheel will spin one direction and the other wheel will spin the other way, while the engine does nothing. Andrew Jeje. So the R&P is a ratchet in that respect? In any event, I'm looking for some way to gauge compression, even if it's just a loose ...

I was thinking about both wheels in the air, however it seems like leaving one on the ground is good for measuring compression in 3rd-OD like you said, since those may be below the torque wrenches minimum setting. Or the wrench may have a range where it's the most accurate as well, probably not at t...

It's relatively easy in neutral, and requires a little more force, but still turnable in first. Could I just slap a torque wrench on the axle nut, and figure the approximate compression by recording the difference in torque required to turn it in different gears/neutral?

to turn an engine w/ good compression via the passenger side wheel in first gear by hand w/ both wheels off the ground?

Urea is (NH2)2CO with double bonds on the CO, and single for the NH2 and H2N. I'm guessing that the presence of NOx will rip the NH/HN combos off and result in diatomic Nitrogen and water. Honda has something similar where they created a cat that made Ammonia, which has the same effect on NOx.

AFAIK, yes, you are correct. It tends to drop out as the temp drops, so it's more of a summer thing for some.

Hey Hagar you cabron :), thanks a bunch. I just pulled a ~65mpIg@40mph average speed tank over ~80miles with draggin front calipers and crunchy rear bearings. Then I added more wax, got some decent, although still not the best, rear bearings, and got ~70mpIg@45mph average speed over ~120 miles. I'm ...

Nah, the boot holder thingy, provided yer rack is like mk1 versions. It's the little rubber thingy that slides into the indented part of the rack that the boot end goes over and into. If someone replaced the holder at some point in time after it got damaged, there may be bits of the old one in the b...

Hmmm... The only thing I can think of would be part of one of the rubber boot holder dealies, assuming the rack is like the mk1 versions. Is it too hard to undo one of the boot ends and take a look?

I don't think it's too bad, since NOx is what stock, 1g/mile? And I doubt it'll take that much HxCx to turn the stored NOx into Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide. A diesel at 50mpg already uses ~60g/mile of diesel fuel, even if it needs 3g/mile of fuel to get rid of that 1g/mile of stored NOx, it still ge...
