That is what I was told... I was just curious if anyone had done this that 
was on the list...

Even when you lighten the piss out of her? Autotech claims that their crank 
hangs a weight just below that of the 92.8 crank found in the 2.0 16v. If I 
got one of these cranks I was going to take off anything in the range of 4-6 
lbs, and then of course hook it up with a lightened fly wheel... (just a 
thought)

I was wondering about that too... I guess that was the grey area that 
Autotech neglected to write in their pages... I guess with their kit they 
deal with that for you...

>(okay, maybe a half-dozen head gasket stacked up!!!)

Yah think that'll really work???? (I'm just kidding)
