Re: Pulling TIRE from RIM at home?

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

I just take my tires that need to be patched to Discount Tire where they
patch 'em for _free_! pretty phat. 

Today I worked on my 81 Scirocco, I was going to add new non-air shrouded
injector inserts to my '84 JH motor (because the air-shrouded injector
seats project into the intake ports, i dont like that) but the old style
inserts are a bigger thread size than the new shrouded ones! So what I did
was take out the newer-stlye ones and cut the ends off (like 1.5 inches
worth), then put sealer on the threads (very important), put new o-rings
on, and put them in. I think there might be a small difference at high rpm,
but i'm not sure. I need a dyno!

This is just another step in the ongoing saga of stopping those damn vacuum
leaks!
