Hi All
I have a 1300 twin port motor with very tired third big end and rear bearings. It needs to go on a trip soon, and I was just wondering what do you guys think is a safe minimum oil pressure, I know the VW reckons about
25psi, but this is for a new engine! This engine sits around 10-18psi when hot at rpms ranging from 2400-3400. Do you guys think that should be sufficient?It's in the middle of summer and I reset the timing P.O had it set at around
5 degrees btdc, I've set it to 7.5 (default for this dizzy and engine, single vacuum hose) but now it's running much hotter, it's also got it's thermostat intact, how do I check if it is set correctly and is working? (with out removing it)?Thanks in advance Regards Kevin
