Preliminary results of fully nonadiabatic g-mode pulsation calculations for evolutionary models of hydrogen-deficient planetary nebula nuclei (PNNs) with active helium-burning shells are reported. Instabilities are found that are driven by the epsilon-mechanism at the position of the helium-burning shell. The periods of the unstable modes range from 50 to 214 s. In all models, the presence of an active nuclear burning shell demands that some g-modes are unstable. It is suggested that if hydrogen-deficient PNNs contain helium-burning shells, then they should show such pulsations.
