Subject:Oil pump size differences? Boston Bob Customers?
From:Derrek Wittmann

Hello All,

I am new to the list and would like to ask some advice.

My recently purchased vanagon is in need of a rebuilt motor.  Searching the
archives lead me to choose Boston Bob as the rebuilder for my 2.1 WBX.  I
was wondering what the consensus is on using a higher volume oil pump (say a
28mm or 30mm vs the stock 26mm)?  I am leaning toward a 28mm to help
compensate for the lower oil pressure that is characteristic of a rebuilt
motor.  Any opinions?

Question two:  How many miles have people been getting from a rebuilt Boston
Bob WBX motor?  I realize that there a large number of variables, so I
accept any answer as a generalization.  I would prefer to hear from Boston
Bob customers.

Thanks,

Roger Wittmann
