I'm in the process of installing my 6 and have come to the oil lines. My entire setup is planned as AN-12, and I see options for AN12 one-way check valves from a number of retailers.
One example: https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/150024/1000...KEaAnyVEALw_wcB I have seen the threads on here and on Pelican about the Rothsport valve, but the price and the lack of AN fittings have drawn me away from it. Is there some other reason that someone should fork out 300 for the Rothsport unit? |

Is there some other reason that someone should fork out 300 for the Rothsport unit? Because it's a very expensive engine and the Rothsport check valve mechanism is a direct copy of the factory Porsche GT3 check valve. I looked at the link and the 5 psi opening concerns me. The GT3 valve is designed to open by suction, not pressure. Too bad you are doing this now, I have a 914 coming over the winter for the exact same mod and other repairs. It's all AN fittings and hose and the chap has a late 911 "S hose" rothsport valve. I will likely be doing it similar to my install, using custom made adapters and a modified (cut down) 911 S hose. |

Very good point on the sucttion vs pressure. |
