We had a 70 Beetle, dropped #3 exhaust valve and we had a family friend rebuild it. Rusted away, but we all drove the stuffings out of it. Great car for what it was.
The trick to them is that they NEED valve adjustments, particularly on #3 cylinder because the oil cooler is on that side and #3 tends to run warm. If you don't keep them adjusted, the exhaust valve will get tight, overheat, and break off. Changing the o-rngs on the oil cooler is also a necessity that is always ignored -- eventually they leak, and when enough oil gets in there the engine catches of fire on the highway and destroys the car. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
