    Use a K&N HP3001 filter, fairly inexpensive and rated for high pressure.

    OIL PRESSURE OR NO OIL PRESSURE

    Is the wiring correct and not damaged? Is the switch ok? If so get an oil pressure test gauge and screw it into the sender hole in the side of the case, remove the king lead from the coil so it doesn’t fire and get someone to spin the engine over on the key while you watch the gauge. If it...

    Swivel feet valve adjuters. Ball or Elephant type on larger T1 engines ?

    My Scat 1.45:1 rockers have the cup style same as this photo, I use them in conjunction with the lash caps which are supplied with the kit.

    1970 San Francisco westfalia resto

    So I’ve returned from my travels to the new world. Had a good time indulging in American culture with my family who live out there and in my first day home I went to collect the bus. Geoff has done an outstanding job 👌🏻 Also got myself some new valve springs, retainers & collets from CB...
