It never caused a drivability problem, but does create a bit of a mess. The fact that the builder initially came back with a T1 oil filler installed (?!) should have been a red flag, but his reviews were excellent, so I trusted the job was done right after that was swapped out for the CB T3 unit. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, in looking at the way the plumbing was done, I noticed that the “high” side (which has a foam, restrictor) is plumbed to the oil return, while the low side (without restriction of any kind, and a straight shot) pulls to the air cleaner. Basically ass-backwards. So I am going to swap these while waiting for new foam from CB (the existing one flattened under spring pressure) and the gland nut tool, which I also need since there is a slight leak at the base and I don’t want o damage the nut with the screwdriver/hammer approach.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, test drive will probably happen tomorrow or Friday, but the bright side is looking forward to a vaporlockless, oil pukingless Invasion! =)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dave<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>PS After getting lucky several times locating the replacement air filters for the Brazilian dual carb air cleaner (originally Logan <span style='font-size:12.0pt'>CFA-018-P; also Berg GB498D and VW/Audi 041.129.619.1) I am down to my last filter, and am having no luck tracking more down domestically. I have heard numberless rumors that some year Pinto filters work as well as a Rover/Mini (this was on a Samba threat Russ chimed in on from 2009 </span><a href="https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3731592">https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3731592</a> <span style='font-size:12.0pt'>) and it seems like they can be acquired from Brazil ( </span><a href="https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-878775371-filtro-ar-sp2-variant-tl-tc-original-vw-motor-1600-c-detalhe-_JM?quantity=1">https://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-878775371-filtro-ar-sp2-variant-tl-tc-original-vw-motor-1600-c-detalhe-_JM?quantity=1</a> ) but I have not tried those alternative suggestions yet and have never ordered anything online from Brazil. Might be time to bust out the old oil bath and call it a good run while it lasted (?). Hmmm. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
