Well, Sparky has a new engine and is up and running.
Not without a few hiccups though (afterall it is a VW).
Got the engine and most of the hardware installed this AM and started it up.
No oil pressure.
Pulled sender, fired it up, no oil pressure.
Called Mark and asked him what he thought.
Pulled mustache bar, exhaust and oil pump - no oil at all inside of oil pump.
Put in stock oil pump - 50 PSI at idle.
Mixed and matched parts - old oil remote cooler pump housing, new drive gear
for flat cam, new cover for remote oil filter and cooler - 50 PSI idle.
How can a brand new CB Performance oil pump housing be bad? Just luck I guess.
Trying to get the carbs synced right now. I tried using two vacuum gauges, too
many fluctuations in the vacuum so I'm back to adjusting carbs by ear. Don't
know if the new cam is effecting the gauges.
I'm taking a break now and hope to go for a drive in an hour or so.
See you this weekend.
Ronnie
