Brief Description:  2nd rockers + oil accessories

Again, even with a VW book in front of me, and a DVD from Sonex. basic information is missing. "Install oil screen," seems like a simple thing. But there are NO pictures of what it looks like and how it goes in, and not other instructions.

Oil pump:
1. When putting the cover on the oil pump the manual says to put permatex AND the paper gasket in place. But in the video I don't see a paper gasket. The VW book says use the paper gasket, but does not say anything about the permatex gasket.
2. Manual says to torque to 14 ft/lbs, but the bolts supplied (see photo 3) are allen keyed, so there is no way to torque.
3. VW book says to use washers under the bolts, but there are none supplied. Sonex video SHOWS washers going on, but doesn't SAY anything about them.

OK, griping over...

Next installed all of the oil sump parts that I could, but Sonex says my oil sump plate is still on back order (4 weeks now), so I could not complete that.

Finally, installed the oil pump (photo 3). Be SURE to align the pump hole with the case hole, per the manual.
