You don't know if you lost oil pressure till you put a gauge on it. It could be running hot for some reason.
You don't have to remove the engine to remove the pump but don't get ahead of yourself.

Your engine did't sound to good when you left the birthday cruise.

You should always start with the basics. valve adjust, timing, check plugs to see if your running lean and check your fan for paper etc.

No fuel could be because it got to hot and vapor locked. A lot to check before you start pulling the engine apart.


Thanks Jack,

Slow and easy.

You better put some sight rods on that tiny trailer.. You cant look over your shoulder the way you can in the Empi.

No Problem with that.    I have a Back up camera. The problem is its so short coupled it turns real fast. I had problems with it even in  the Empi. It's so lite it's easier to un hook it and push. LOL

Nice rig Glen  2@@cool 2@@cool 2@@cool 

Took the Ghost back over to the paint shop this morning for
rub out and clear coating, it had to sit for two weeks to let
the paint harden and set properly.  Will pick her up on
Friday morning.   **^bana0 **^bana0

  Glen,

  One thing I worry about with my trailer is someone coming from the other directions with plans on turning immediately behind me to get into a parking lot or something,  or anyone wanting to make a quick turn right behind my bug when the rear of my bug is blind to them, I think they will smash into my trailer.  I do have a long red pole on my trailer for visibility to others, (and helps me see it too)

  Just something to think about..........

Matt

 Great looking bus, canoe and trailer, by the way.........!

Mark (VWNUT) and I pulled Tracy's Westy in last night & ripped (gently) the front brake system out of it.

Made new hardlines out of Cunifer (NiCopp Nickle-Copper Alloy) line material. What a JOY to work with! (Instructional video Jack!)
Ordered 2 calipers & 2 soft lines. They'll arrive tomorrow.

You can also buy the framing material at HD and Lowe's. It's usually by the screening in hardware.
