There is a lot of play in there until the fan centers it and pushes it back against the shoulder on the crank. > The only other thing I could think of is the breather... its off a > 70's era car with the PCV valve in it and the tube that goes down to > the oil filler inlet.

This would let the breather mist oil drain back into the sump. Of course you would need some place to let the gasses flow back into the intake stream. I don't know if the baffling is different in the late breathers, but since the 68-71 breather is designed to separate vapors from oil and drain the latter back down into the sump, you would probably be better off with matching parts. Do you have the correct cup and washer inside the breather, too? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
