This engine is for my Michigan Build, 2016 Build-Off Challenge. Needed to come to the "Garage" for some help.
Fresh rebuilt on start up, my first oil filter inflated, then leaked at the seal. Second try, filter massive leak blew the seal out. I have a flow probem. Looking for help. I must be building pressure, just won't leave the filter. ![]() ![]() |

Mark, I am aware of that but I have read a number of articles that gives some possible and creative solutions. Link? Not saying something new hasn't been figured out, but a local member told me the same thing 10 years ago, while rolling his eyes implying I was a debbie downer and didn't know jack shit. He did every trick and battled the issue for 2 years before he gave up and bought IDF's. Gene berg was a DCNF tuning master and although he did make thing better even he could never fix the issue. Other VW guys have also been using this carb since the early 70's...and they couldn't fix it. Spirited 914 cornering abilities, which is what the 914 is all about is just too much for the DCNF bowl design. I love the DCNF's I have used them for 25+ years, I had to buy a whole Gene Berg engine kit to get my 42 specials. For a highway there's no better carb, I just know and accept their limitations. |
