oil pump with an oversized (melling) -------------------------------------- Many very knowledgable VW people have told me that the melling is an all cast iron housing and expands at a different rate than the OEM or other aluminum housing pumps and causes the case to leak after a few hundred heat cycles. However all of that is mute since the only pump that will work on the CV series engine is this pump that melling and nobody else makes as new. http://williamwareagency.com/forsale/stanvan/o-pump1.jpg This pump is $378.00 if you can find new old stock. Replacing the gears is the most common rebuild procedure. If you will take note of the four bolts in the pump, thats the key. This pump can be lightly machined and rebuilt very easily. I installed Porsche pump gears in my pump and get 55-60 psi at full operating temp at 3300 rpms. 22 psi at full temp at 800-900 rpm. Stan Wilder been there done that. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
