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)

Cool setup.
I have flex lines going to the remote cooler adapter, so the "long extention" problem should bother my setup, but they're in the way of the distributor. dr, are you on the track yet? I ran a race (test session for me) at Waterford Hills this weekend. Learned a lot. |
