I'm working on a Tech weekend if Ken will reply to my email. :evil:

Possible topics are: shifter bushing, valve adjustment, brake adjustment/bleeding, etc.

ok sounds great-thanks for your advice on the gear oil--lot of debate using synth on hds--the synth we use actually replaces engine oil instead of 20/50 , transmission oil and primary oil. THE 20/50 HARLEY DAVIDSON OIL IS DIFFERENT THEN CAR 20/50 IT SAYS IT FOR AIR COOLED MOTORCYCLES--I WANT TO TRY IT IN THE BUG BEING AIRCOOLED -I WANT TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT. the service guy at work says he has run car 20/50 and saw no diff-but you would think the mc oil would be better for hotter runnung motors such as air cooled-- as it is stated on the bottle--and we use it after break -in -period- ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS LET US KNOW!!! THANKS Very Happy

There was a thread on here in the past where Jake gave a detailed report on some very extensive testing that he had done in the lab on using synthetic oils. Tearing down the engine after each test and measuring wear etc. I can't find it now but perhaps someone else knows where to find it.

Been there.

Its designed for newer Harley engines that use roller cams and lifters.. It won't help your flat tappet VW engine.
