Title: Brazil case: Sleeve in the oil channel? Post by: Jon on August 15, 2007, 23:26:35 pm As the topic says I found a sleeve in the channel leading up to the oil pump. This case was machined by Rimco.
The question is, who put it in there and what good does it do? Title: Re: Brazil case: Sleeve in the oil channel? Post by: stealth67vw on August 16, 2007, 00:04:30 am Brazilian case come with the sleeve. I'm not really sure why they are there, maybe it was a machining boo boo at the factory.

I have changed the pickup to a german one, and the oil pump is a melling. I thought about a machining error, but I could not se any holes there. I will get it out of there tomorrow... Thanks! |
