i use Seafoam and ATF every other tank, @ 4oz per tank.

glad to hear ya got it working!

The cause might be one of these:
Black smoke = over fueling = too little air to combust the quantity of fuel.
White/blue smoke = too little time to completely combust fuel (generally a timing problem, or leaking injectors).

can you use the old bracket? it should bolt up. only 2 pics posted, can you post the bracket you're talking about?

if the cam/trans/ip marks were in alignment then you should have no concern about timing. if you're not 100% certain about then take it back down and double check. your valves will thank you. hope you find the squeak.

have it all together. will try to get out later and see if it works.
while it was lifted finished replacing the shifter bushings and found the coolant leak that i had been worried was something major: a plastic fitting that had collapsed, fixed that also.

....... very poor attitude. I ask if they would give me a call if they got a 85-92 Golf in. He told me they crush cars like that with big smile and thats the owner.

Yes. :wink: i made and installed an inline water separator from an air compressor. have the large one now and won't have to worry about runaway unless it fills completely up w/ oil. at about 3000 miles it will have a few tablespoons in it. keeps the intake clean also. these are avail online but thi...
