Bentley,  in the diagram on 17.7, show the oil pump as having a paper gasket
between  the pump housing and the block, but not between the housing cover
and the  housing. Seems I wirebrushed off a paper cover when disassembling
the pump,  and it makes sense that one would go there, but also that it would
add  unwanted distance between the pump gears and the housing  cover.
Anyone?







Jim, you've found yet another error in the  Bentley.  There are two gaskets
there.  Gasket, oil pump, pump cover  to pump body, 111 115 131B and Gasket,
oil pump, pump body to engine, 025  115 111A.  These gaskets are still available
from VW.    I  keep them is stock, see my _Vanagon Items Forsale_
