8v timing thanks

["Speed Racer" <speed_racer84@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>Thank's goes out to all that sent in replys. I get the Scirocco running 
Sunday. I was setting the timing marks at the wrong intersection of the main 
pully and the pully that turns the distrubutor. A stock 8v can survive a 
timing belt mishap and still be operational after installing a new one. 
(Usually I'm never that lucky)

Now I have another problem. Th car has been sitting up for a while (3 1/2 
weeks) and the fuse for the fuel pump blows after about 15 minutes of the 
car running. It's almost as if there is more than the 15 amps of current 
flowing through cause I was stranded and out of 15 amp fuses and pulled the 
10 amp headlight fuse and stuck it on the fuel pump circuit in order to get 
home (it was daytime luckily). That fuse blew faster and I still wasn't home 
so I risked life and car and stuck a 20 amp fuse in there and drove home as 
fast as I could shutting off the engine at every light.

Any ideas, anyone had this happen before?

Another question. Is there a gasket on the top half of the factory oil 
cooler. Between the actual main assembly and the square (boxed) shaped part 
that the oil filter screws up against? I have a pretty serious leak coming 
from there and wonder if I can just replace the gasket to keep from leaking 
so much oil.

TIA
Rob (almost done killing all the gremlins)
