Overheating - kind of urgent

So that screaming was you? Interesting. I beleive I was saying that you were acting like a little boy. Still are. Grow a thicker skin. Redneck? not hardly, but nice try. As long as you continue to act like this here, I stand by my statement. Grow up.

Seems to be a pretty darn simple black-painted steel pulley. A timing dimple and a notch. Stock, I betcha.

I generally see 3600rpm at 65mph. Or thereabouts.

This makes sense, but 4th gear at highway speeds will probably push as much air over the jugs as the same rpm in 3rd gear on the surface streets.

Big difference is how much air I'm making the Wonderbus shoulder out of the way. Anyone know the numbers for how much energy it requires to shove a loaf -- a miracle of aerodynamic styling -- through still air at (say) 3600 rpm in 4th vs. 3600 rpm in 3rd?

Also those dipstik temp sensors

Yes, it's a Good Thing. Alerted me to a possible issue. AND triggered a long thread that is getting longer even as I write this. Last I looked it has degenerated into name-calling. I'm keepin' a low profile.

I'm gonna get a turkey thermometer and remote it and get a sense of what the temp in the sump is. Bob Hoover pointed out that VW's industrial engines had (have?) a sensor at the oil pump inlet. I wonder if the sump oil down where the dipstick sticks tends to be cooler or warmer than that found at the pump inlet.

Is it a redneck expression ?

I doubt it. I've never used it. ;-)

On 05 May 2004 23:49:17 GMT, snipped-for-privacy@aol.comcrap (RSMEINER) ran around screaming and yelling:

Told'ya I never used that expression! :-P

I'm gonna make a wag here. I think Assbag is the bag they carry it home in after your ass has been handed to you in a contest.................. Or maybe a colostomybag.................

Who really cares though.................
