Some people swear by theirs, but I think they generally just muddy the waters. Once you put on a sensor you have to ask how the temp varies with position on the head, and which cylinder, etc. For most people this just becomes data without meaning, done mostly for bragging rights. > 2.

Yes, a full flow oil filter is probably the best thing you could do for your engine. You'll find the details in this book: How to Hotrod Volkswagen Engines by Bill Fisher published by H. P. Books, Tucson, AZ, 1970 ISBN 0-912656-03-4 (excellent book, well written and researched) This is a good book anyway, so it's worth getting for many reasons, even if you're just interested in longevity and reliability rather than high performance. You'll have to allow for the fact that the plumbing described here is for a beetle engine so the type 3 must be done differently. I don't have the elbow you seek, but I have a standard one I could sell you to modify. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
