Dont know what bent.. everything looks good! yes I have to be careful with that thing hanging down but before it I was oil starved on EVERY turn and I dont like that... in fact I could check the oil level by making quick lane changes on the highway. WIth only 2.5 QT oil and no filter I think the extra 1.5 qt is an excellent idea to dilute the contaminents and better safety margin should something go wrong. I guess this is one of those rare and few things I disagree with Jim on... keith ---------- > From: Jim Adney <jadney@vwtype3.org> > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: Re: [T3] Fw: Im Back! > Date: Tuesday, July 20, 1999 12:23 AM > > On 19 Jul 99, at 18:11, Keith Park wrote: > > > > Well..
