mine has been leaking since i got the car and now that my clutch is going wacky, i am going to fix everything starting at the front.
so..... i need a new oil pump. i have searched the threads and there seem to be 3 types - iron one that leaks (not going there) - aluminum one that doesn't leak (but need to machine the shaft IIRC) - type 1 conversion (still with shaft machining?) anyone who has this lately speak up as i am looking for input and assistance. after the oil pump, comes the valve adjustment then the clutch. thanks in advance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

Any aircooled VW / buggy shopor rebuilder out to have these covers, new or used (they sell them new in ads in Hot VW's magazine) just be sure to lap them flat, as even new ones may not be perfect. the other posters phot is right on, that the one to get. be sure to use sealant around the body of the pump if you pull the body out that is. Remember use one thin gasket unde rthe cover (about .003 inch thick as i recall ) do not use the near identical thicker gasket, as that one is used between the engine and the pump body. The tin gasket, after you lap every thing flat is the only gap (clearance) betweent eh cover and the gears. The more clearance, the more pressure loss.
