I have decided to place my thermostat in the front trunk. I think it is easier for me to do that. I am routing the oil lines back to the engine compartment. Here are a few pics of my current set up on my 3.2. I could use some help plumbing the new oil lines back to the engine and oil tank. Can you tell me how to connect the new oil lines to the current oil lines please.
Here is the line from the bottom of engine to the oil tank.  Here is the oil line from the tank. I am not sure where it goes.  Here is another picture of this line that has the oil removal plug.  I didn't picture the other oil line on top of the oil tank that I thinks goes to the cooler on the engine. So I am looking if I can use any of these lines in conjunction with the two oil lines coming back to the engine compartment on the drivers side. Thanks, Buck |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The pictured line with the drain cap extends from the bottom of the tank to the fitting on the bottom of the engine mounted oil cooler. Thermostats fit inline to the plumbing that extends from the right side of the engine to the fitting on the engine side of the tank. Ben used a picture of my thermostat plumbing. I used a 911 thermo......not a common choice......there are simpler ways to get a working system. Thanks Ben. Nice to know you noticed. |
