Glad you got the Single Cab, sounds like a lot of hassle to get it legal, but the small glimpse of it is kinda exciting! Yay! Plus, at least now you have it in the shop and you can do what you do to prep for that adventure... where ever that is.
Old vw mechanic swore by stock vw oil filters for water cooled vw. Said they had pressure relief in them. 20 years later first time I’ve actually heard of filter blowing up. Good luck
I had the same problem with my Ghia after putting in "improved" EMPI oil pressure relief springs which raised oil pressure to 130psi (!) D'oh! Put the original spring back in and now have great oil pressure.
Good vid, you can do a visual on your oil pump flange to know if its a 30mm pump because they are thicker and require longer studs to accommodate it.....just saying
Have you heard of the musician M Gira his band "angels of light" on the album "new mother" there is a song titled "Gloria" give it a listen when you're working on the single cab. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble you've made for yourself this time.:)
here's what to do. get rid of that aftermarket pump and filter, put the stock one back on and change ur oil once a month! and one more thing, clean ur oil screen!
You could check the spring on the oil piston my be aftermarket and not correct to. A Berg Pressure relief cover would help to keep Filters on also a high performance application filter like a wix 5151 k&n 3001 or fram HP1 have a thick can that can hold pressure. Good luck
Dang thats a great filter. Consider that Berg Pressure relief cover. I would be tempted to pull those bypass springs and plungers & confirm they are correct for your application. I run that cover and a 30mm pump with a k&n 3001 filter no blowouts ever I can run 20-50 but I run 1-30
Read up on the bypass oil pump cover there are a few people who make them. The bypass plungers and springs may be the aftermarket pressure booster type.
Are you the only guy that bitches about a VW air cooled motor with good oil pressure?😂😂. That being said, looking forward to your long trip in the bus…..many opportunities for all sorts of parts to fall off like on your other trip! Really enjoy the videos…keep ‘em coming.
Glad you got the bus sorted out.
Congrats on Gloria even if it didn’t happen the way you intended.
Hey thanks! If I’m lucky I’ll have two VWs on the road this year. Very much looking forward to get frustrated with another project 😂

Cool truck. Yeah, not sure about the yellow, at least you’d never lose it in a parking lot! Can’t wait to see its new look. Metallic purple anyone?
Yay, bus is home!
I live in NC and I agree. They are a pain. On a happier note I’m back in the game. I just bought a lovely 67 😬

Nice truck
Nice bus, i'd leave it yellow.
nice job.
Blow out nearly a dozen filters before you decide to see what's wrong........... Love it. P.S. Yellow is the new black.
I was hoping the first ten filters were defective 😂 and it’s funny you say that because this Bus was black at one point.
Love the single cab. Looking forward to see what you do to it.
Thanks for watching! There will be lots of videos on that Bus coming, need it ready for our trip in June!
@@wickedwerks The more videos the better. Get Ben down the shop to help! He’s not been about for a while.

Upgrade Ola oil filter to a Oberg filter. You can get used good Oberg oil filters at the big swap meets, cheap.

All I’ve been using is Wix 51515R

Doing everything I can to make sure I swap an engine on the side of the road in Canada 😂
you can put 0w8 or 0w12 or 0w16 to get at the pressure you want . 0w8 is from toyota
Love this yellow!
Don’t get too attached, it’s coming off as soon as possible 😂
Yaaaa! Single cab home. What color is it underneath? lol. Red or Blue?
Neither 😉
