turbo oil return - sump location

Post by **shorty_f0rty** » Thu Nov 12, 2009 8:24 pm

hey guys,

finally got my sump off and about to drill a hole in it so a barb can be silver soldered in.

I have a spot right at the back of the sump and at the top as it seems to be the easiest place to route the oil line as well as access sump bolts, change oil filters.

any further forward and it will need run horizontally for a while before going into the sump.

i've tried to search but haven't found anything that answers my question.

Cheers.[/code]

Yer about ther sounds right, just make sure you drill it in a location where it is between the bores so not to come near the crankshaft as it rotates.

alright all done.. checked the bores and adjusted accordingly. even trimmed the threaded bit of the barb so less thread is inside the sump.

took some pics but my cheap ass camera sucks at night.. so not even worth posting.

hopefully the guys will be able to silver solder the barb in without issues tomorrow.
