3 Cylinder VW Bus?
I was traveling down the Interstate and my 74 Bus started chugging and acting like it was sick. I pulled off and started looking around at the engine. I had my suspiscions because of a previous problem and I removed the valve cover from the right side. The head was messed up because the rocker arm on one of the cylinders wouldnt stay on right. I removed the rod and rocker assembly from that cylinder and put everything back together.

Can you believe that I drove that poor thing for nearly 300 miles on 3 cylinders? True story.

I can believe it! But I bet that cylinder wasnt in the best shape once you got to where you were going.
