- One thing that I am ABSOLUTELY sure of, is that the lifters (followers)
- are NOT, DEFINATELY NOT adjustable. I asked about adjusting my 85 Jetta
- hydrolic (yes they are hydrolic thanks to VW Canada) followers when I
- was there getting an oil change. Guess what? They are suppose to be
- 'self' adjusting. Can't adjust them. Reason being, I was interested in
- buying a 88 Fox. Engine had the familiar loud ticking sound (worn
- followers). I enquired about the sound. Car dealer said "They can be
- adjusted".
- I said "Adjust them? Their not adjustable!" Needless to say, in reguards
- to my querie about the followers... One lesson has been learned.

- CHANGE YOUR OIL REGULARLY!
