hey all!
fullflowing question. i have a 38mm pump (yes 38mm) with gears supported by both sides, and a regular cover plate on it. (cant find manufacturer - got it from steve stromberg :cringe: ) i do not know the pump manufacturer, so thus i cannot get a full flow cover for it. i like the larger pump because i have a front cooler and -10 lines. i want to full flow my motor.... so the passage from the pump that goes diagonally upwards toward the filter and 1st galley plug.... i could tap that galley with an elbow to EXIT the case and go to a remote filter... and come back into the case through the standard galley plug next to it.... but my question- to make it more simple.... and not require two elbows out of the case... does anyone make a filter blockoff plate with an AN fitting in the bottom passage? thus i would not have to use a second elbow- |

41ghost did it the way most do - if you see on nando's thread he actually had the mount modified so all those bends are not there. A 90 degree bend reduces flow about 35% on average. ONE 90 degree I can personally live with. But see on his how it goes back into the case - that main galley is larger than the holes leading to-from the pump/filter, albeit only a little - and see the other plug on the opposite side of the crank - when you look at the exploded oil flow pattern - oil is fed THRU one bearing which FEEDS the other. This si why there are so many #1 bearing failures - by teeing the main line (3/8") into a 1/8" feeder line directly into this plug, you are giving flow somewhere to go AND helping those two bearings..
