It's just not meant for me to have a stroker vw.rode today and hit a good pipeline and something broke in the bottom end.sounded like rod broke,so I'd say I trashed yet another everything.I've got a brand new one getting finished up now that was for my old buggy I was bringing out of retirement but I guess I'll put it on the single seater.every time I think I'm doing good I get screwed.had oil coming out the block under the shroud so I'd say a rod let go.I love throwing couple thousand dollars out the window.I know I'm going to hear about the ragging on how expensive the a/c are but I love the way they sound and run but my line is starting to get drawn in the sand.might just build a w/c chain drive and be done with it.I'm seriously puked.Chad :mrgreen:
