Thanks for the info Dennis
I have oil coolers on both of my vans. One is from Vanaistan and the other I put together from junkyard parts. They do make a difference.
If and when I rebuild that VW reman I would probably go with Go Westy parts. I wish I could go with a 2.3 and run it safely on regular gas.
I have run the 2.3 I have on regular occasionally but usually stick with mid grade.
Never heard of those rings. Do they make a big difference and how do they holdup in long run?
Bob

While the price is appealing the deck height is wrong, lower compression and the rings are terrible. I just did one with the GW set. So far first rate fit. This engine was also fitted with one of my oil coolers. With radiator fan disable I brought the coolant to 210F and waited for the oil temp to get there also. Oil pressure still near 20 psi at idle. Fan working oil temp drops to 190, driving van 180F.
