Why would the right side be different from the left? I know Berg makes a claim like this, but he claims it happens on both sides. I have a lot of trouble with this claim because it leaves very little oil in the sump, probably not enough to get up to the oil pickup tube. Oil in the valve box does not get burned, so even if this is true it doesn't explain the startup plume. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
