hi typ4 motors do this as well ive had one or two ocasions where ive cooked a bit of oil off on startup i hace to park at a very odd angle leaning down on my 12 cylinder side! it is true about a lot more oil going to the 1/2 head than the 3/4 side due to crankshaft rotation? i have seen pictures on the net of this phenomanon (sp) with valve covers with windows at a certain rpm the 1/2 side was much fuller with oil than the 3/4 . perhaps this adds to the penchant for it allways to be the 3 ex valve to let go as all that oil pushing thru the 1/2 side would certainly have a cooling effect on that head or. i have heard the idear of restricting flow to the heads before as a method of having a little more reserve available in the sump my answer to this would be keep the oil flow it is good get a bigger sump!!! even one of the silly little bean can extentions will stop you running your oil light on on steep hills and sharp turns. mfg njv ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
