Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil In P7100???

[Cummins360]

Some more questions that had me baffled:

Does the engine oil lubricate the Bosch P7100 or do you have to fill it with some kind of special oil???

Where do you get that micrometer thingy to adjust a GSK????

When I think of more I'll post lmao... that shouldnt take long but the way I see it its better to ask and learn than not because your afraid of being annoying or looking stupid .

Thanks, Travis

Where do you get that micrometer thingy to adjust a GSK???? Summitracing.com had them for Cheap not long ago... They're called Vernier Calipers.

Thanks, Travis

Yep engine oil is fed through the p7100 for lube purposes, also I bought my Vernier calipers at sears in the tool dept for under $20.

Ask questions... that's what this forum is for. But do take the time to use search first. You'll learn a lot and you'll ask better, more specific questions.

Signal, Where is the boundary between fuel lubricated and oil lubricated? It hit me after I posted last night that there was engine oil under the plate when I thought I dropped a screw.

Fuel lubricates the internals, but the cam and such are lubricated by engine oil.

Just the plungers and barrels (and of course the delivery valves) see the fuel. The cam, followers, and governor parts are lubed by the motor oil.

Yep. What he said^^^ From what I understand the VP-44 is the other way around.
