If some of the oil is being bypassed then it's not being filtered! Also, a proper setup won't have to worry about leaks or blow-by and luckily this is very easy to accomplish. >and no HP1 >filter needed - std filters will do OK. The HP1 is a standard filter -- in the US at least thanks to the many old American cars still on the roads -- and easy to find. >3.

Lines still must be routed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
