You may also need to remove the oil cooler and verify that the correct seals are in there. This is no slam dunk, because the correct seals are often not included in the standard gasket sets, and there are several ways to get this wrong, most of which will lead to some kind of cooling or lubrication problem. You may need to just quiz your engine guy on this, but you can't assume that he knows type 3s well enough to know that he's looking at the wrong part. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
