VW W config motor? Never seen one with it's head off.
Anybody need some blocks?
He's everywhere.
Yes, VR6 which is one half of the W configuration motors (more or less). The VR6 is called an In-line Vee because it only has a 15 degree offset between the cylinders thus, it can use a single head and fit where most std. V6's can't. You get the smoothness of an in-line and the sound is like no other V6. Very throaty and a nice growl.Quote:

The pics just took me by surprise and reminded me of FrankZ's pics.
That just made my day :DQuote:

I am guessing the only way one of those could fall on you is if you lived on the floor below it...
Timing chain guides??? Valves since it's an interference engine??? The upper and lower chain guides and tensioner is a maintenance issue that is a bitch to fix. Normally they are stout, bullet proof engines but if the guides and/or tensioner goes it can cause some problems especially on the early dual chain VR's ('91-'95).Quote:

These might have been posted before, but are just DIY beautiful.

well, it is either that it is a university (apparently) for one woman (woman's being singular possessive)
or, perhaps it is that exit "469" could be construed to have a sexual -- even homoerotic -- connotation (if the "4" is read as "for", e.g.)
Wow.....been a long time eh?Quote:
