	Not having done anything of this sort on any VW engine, I 
will nevertheless take the gamble of endorsing the method Syd 
suggests, which I have used on other engines.  I see nothing wrong 
with it.
	And to guard against the ridicule that may pour in from those 
who really know from VW experience how to recognise any folly in 
this, I'll plead the feeble defence "it's still Friday in some part 
of the world" <:-|
