I put the engine back in and cranked it over following the rebuild. I found significant oil leaking/draining from behind the impeller housing. I ended up pulling the enginen out and looked at the source, thinking I did not get the oil in and out barbed fittings tight. To my suprise, I found a fitting hole which I cannot remember what its purpose is. I believe this to be the source of oil loss.
This is a modified 2.0L. We run an external oil cooler in series with our stock oil cooler. Denny removed the stock oil filter mount and capped it off with a plate. He plumbed the case for _8 fittings for oil in and out to the external oil cooler and remote mounted oil filter. Attached image(s)

Someone drilled that galley and tapped it. Just plug it off, like Chris says.
The oil filter blockoff looks inverted or put on backward, it should look like synthesis' does. Synthesis, don't get teflon tape around those use permatex 56521 teflon paste. put nothing on the areas where the AN fittings meet another AN fitting, they are designed to seal without a sealant. |
