[Vwdiesel] 92 Eco Diesel is running... Bubbles or holes

[82 Diesel Westy]

Thanks Loren, that is where I looked first for the
source of oil leak.  I will keep looking for valve
cover or the new VDO dual sensor oil pressure sender
in head.

As for running on rough at startup.  I am guessing a
cold compression test of #3 is going to show low
compression and hot will show good compression.

This must be related to the new rings I put on this
piston.  They were .050mm over, same as piston.  They
hopefully have not seated yet and when the motor warms
up a bit, they do seat and all is fine.
Can anyone agree with this revelation??

I just need to get this thing out and drive it.
Thanks, Bryan
