Upgrading to EMPI oil system components in your VW Type 3 can boost engine performance and longevity. Here’s a quick installation guide:
1. Preparation: Park your Type 3 on a flat surface and allow time for the engine to cool. Gather all the equipment you’ll need, like wrenches, an oil catch pan, and your new EMPI parts.
2. Drain the Oil: Place the oil pan underneath the engine, and remove the drain plug to empty the old oil.
3. Remove the Old Parts: Take out the existing oil system parts such as the oil pump, cooler, or filter adapter that you plan to replace.
4. Install New EMPI Components: Fit the new oil system parts, ensuring proper alignment and secure sealing. Be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for the torque specifications.
5. Refill Oil: Put the drain plug back in place and fill the engine with the recommended type and quantity of oil.
6. Final Checks: Start up the engine and check for any leaks. Keep an eye on the oil pressure to confirm that the new oil system functions correctly.
