![]() ![]() Jay
I had the same problem with my 1600 VW did not use a seal there but you can buy one it is called a sand seal I used one from Empi works great. Good luck.
I did a little research on the sand seal and I am going to try it but I was wondering if I have to disassemble the engine to install one or will just removing the pulley enable me to get to install one?
I also am getting alot of oil coming from the crankcase breather, can that be fixed by tighting the valves?
![]() That may well be why you are experiencing oil at the crank pulley. When the crankcase is pressurized, it's going to try to get out of there whenever it can Jay ![]() As far as the oil though the vent tube goes, Some oil is okay but if it is excessive Jay may be right. Another issue that could cause that is your valve stem guides could be worn. I would lean to the jugs though. The good news is they are relatively cheap and easy to replace if you are mechanically inclined.
Thanks alot guys, you have been alot of help, I have not had the engine pressure tested at this point so that will be the next step I guess.
I don't see a road draft tube which came on the VW engine originally and helped scavenge pressure from the crankcase. There should also be a tube coming from the oil fill to the air cleaner also to scavenge crankcase pressure.
I see to many instances where the stock VW pieces would fix the problem but they have been removed.

Yes it has a vent tube but I had to reroute it to a separte filter because it was fouling out my carb with too much oil.
