What would give you that idea. Is it because I have more car parts than furniture in my house or that I'm using my kitchen as a clean room? I go to VWAA(VW Addicts Anonymous, aka Big Sky Euro meattings) but it doesn't seem to help, I usually end up just finding more parts or cars through it.

ARGH!
I was pressing the guides into my heads today..........
well I f'd up the first head. Called Tony to ask questions, the guy that build his heads happened to be there, and he told me what I should of done. I did everything right except one thing that was not mentioned in the manuals I read. PUT ANTISEIZE ON YOUR GUIDES. Next head went just fine. The more you know.

Tranny back together. All new seals, new hockey stick bushings, new axle bearings.
