Yeah, that's pretty much it (once you take out the extra e.) ;-) Another way to look at it is to note that once the bearing is filled, you can't do any better. I don't really know how the spillage from the sides of the bearing goes vs. RPM, but the pump is a positive displacement pump, so it pumps twice as much oil at 4000 RPM as it does at 2000 RPM. I suspect that the bearing needs actually go up more slowly than linearly, so if you have enough at idle (or at 1000 RPM) then you'll have more than enough at 5000 RPM, or anywhere in between. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
