Well project creep sets in again. Being my engine was in machine shop jail for so long, there has been alot of that since I started the build, seeing what "you guys are/have done to your engines hahaha.
Considering I'm not using a HV pump whichever pump I use (I have 2 to pick from) both are 6 bolt style. I'm not building a race motor but at the same time I want to add any "hacks" available to make mine even more "indestructible" than they are known for as built.
And being as how a previous slanted truck motor I had, failed at the cam gear as I described earlier in the post, you got me wondering if I should do this to mine /while it's still on the stand. I like the idea of the VW oiler as shown above. Seems like it was almost made for these engines, seeing how they fit the space and the aim they have.
Along the "super indestructible" theme, I did acquire a steel (cast iron) distributor gear, in an old Napa box/ they still have /6 distributor gears but under the same PN as I have, they have regressed to nylon. I'd like to find 2 more of the metal versions. (Not home right now to check) but I think the PN of the metal version is/was DG404.
