Title: Does Anyone Run One Of these In there Hot Vw Engine and is It worth it? Post by: peach_ on May 27, 2009, 20:04:59 pm Does Anyone Run a After-Market "Windich Tray" In the High Hp Vw engine?
Or are they not really worth it? Iv heard that a "Windich Tray" is built into a type-1 case anyway, but was just wondering if anyone could shed anymore light on the subject? cheers Title: Re: Does Anyone Run One Of these In there Hot Vw Engine and is It worth it? Post by: Donny B. on May 27, 2009, 20:11:22 pm I actually have one that I got in a trade a long time ago. I never used it. Heard they can cause oil starvation and don't work that well. I used to use windage pushrod tubes from CB. They I believe worked pretty well. Just run a big sump, that works.

V8's say it worth about 1% HP gain by keeping the crank from having to slice through the oil Title: Re: Does Anyone Run One Of these In there Hot Vw Engine and is It worth it? Post by: marc1951 on May 28, 2009, 05:21:09 am Toss it!
I tried one years ago and the only thing it did was break loose and rattle a lot. I've built scores of high performance VW engines and what has always worked for me is to use a sump and run your oil level a bit low on the dipstick to keep the crank out of the oil and churning through it.

(https://wolfgangint.com/_images/parts/1115107.jpg) Haven't heard that word in 25 years. Thought they left with the early '80s. Never used one and don't really plan to. But... to each their own.
