engines. If you remember, back in December, I removed my rear housing and found
that my oil pump was dragging and hard to turn. Well, I had

And this guy is still walking and breathing???!!! Last guy that was in
my hanger that couldn't keep his hands off my engine parts was marched
out the hanger door and was told in no uncertain terms never to return.
I can't believe that someone would to that, then keep their mouth shut

I use 30 w Valvoline Racing oil or Kendall. Castrol is also good. When using
an automotive plug, be sure to reduce the plug gap. Magnetos are not as hot
as a battery system unless they're up to speed.

My Revmaster uses J wires held in the head with allen screws.
Why does anyone need HotMail when there are free ones available.
Also, I too found it odd that a CHT could possibly be too cool unless it is
a sign that you are dumping pure gas into the cylinder.

the other location you might pick. A manual that lists the temp and
specifies a location for the probe may only be accurate at that specific
location, and if you move the sender to a different place, the same
Some VW heads have a place for bolting on the CHT probe. On ours, it is on
top of the aft pilot side cylinder. I have always used under the plug until
I discovered this. I figure if that is where VW intended for the temp to be
probed, then I will probe it there and see what I get.
