G'day All,
Just wanted to remind everybody how easy it is with VW derivative motors to
put on the rocker cover and not have the gasket lined up and seating properly.
I've put the rocker covers on a zillion times over 20 years and have always
made sure the gasket isn't bowing inwards but yet today the gasket still
slipped
inwards as I was installing it resulting in quite a significant oil
leak....Fortunately we were just doing an engine run after the form 2
inspection
and all it meant was a clean up.
My recommendation.....Every time you put on the rocker covers do a run up
and then get out and have a look.
cheers
Rob

Subject: Re: [DOG mailing list] Recommendations when changing the rear window?
Most repairers use flock and resin but do know Streifender in Germany do have
another product which they sometimes use. There are some good links in EAA
site
or was it kitplanes to fitting canopys but take real care with any holes you
may
drill - i am inexperienced so I always use round head screws with large washers
and I remove screws just before resin goes off and then replace (if necessary)
with countersunk ss screws but perspex holes should always be rattle fit with
the screw you use. Have heaps of masking tape around the place. There is a
scotch product which you spray on canopy and remove like a rubber skin after
fitting- protects window
Nigel may have ideas and a different version
I would love to hear form others on SPEED vs RPM vs fuel consumption
Take you time and think first re canopy
