Alan said: "Everything I have read suggests - emphasis on suggests! - the Frams are too restrictive, and do not have the proper by-pass characteristics necessary for the optimal function of the wasserboxer engine. I think that my anti-drainback failure cannot be related to the Vanagon engine application; it could have happened on a Rabbit or Buick for that matter. It is most likely related to the design, or quality control. So, what is different about the wasserboxer engine? Higher oil flow rates than other engines? Higher pressure? Don't oil filter designers take the engine specifications into consideration? I use American made light bulbs in my Vanagon. Should I use German ones? Mike '84GL '58 BMW Isetta |
