Guys
The fella doing my oil tank has finished and to say I'm pleased is an understatement. I think he's done a cracking job! The remit was to fit it snugly into the area where the relay board was. The oil out is perfectly placed to have the oil line coming through the existing standard hole in the bodywork. There's one breather line out which is going to go into the existing breather. De-airation and multiple baffles are integral. Oil temp sender boss at the bottom. He has kept the templates and can make for anyone that wants one. What do you guys reckon?

Ok. Now I've got her home and had a good look. There are 2 baffles in it, one that is at the top, you can see the ringed indentation at the top of the tank just befor it cones in at the top where it sits internally. The other baffle is in the main tank body and kinda follows the writing on the outside.
The question I throw to the group is..... To stop the oil draining back into the engine every time I switch off has anyone installed a solenoid into the system wired to the ignition? If I don't stop this from happening I can see no oil lubricating at all for the first few seconds as the tank will be empty. |
