Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: expansion
tank
I found that there is a 5/8" barbed
heater core nipple underneath the oil filter. I had originally
figured on using that to go to the heater core. There is another area for
a fitting on the water pump. It is an angled fitting right next to the
very bottom of the water pump where the large -16 hose will connect. See
area labeled "connection 2" on the picture of the water pump. I had
planned on using that for the other connection to the heater core.
Finally, there is also another plug on the water pump labeled
"connection 1" in the same picture. I have no idea what that is/was
for. Any suggestions on how to incorporate a heater core and this
expansion tank into my system?
I believe the barb you are referring to was
actually a coolant line plumbing to the intake manifold instead of the
heater. The heater outlet is on the spark plug side of the
engine.

Hi, Ed....The barb on my engine, which is
under the oil filter, is right next to the spark plug. On my engine,
the oil filter and the spark plugs are both on the same side. Thanks
for the input. Thanks to Lynn, Rusty, Al. John, Ed and others
I think I can do this !!! (I hope I didn't miss anyone who contributed)
Thanks to everyone for helping me to understand the workings of the
system....then it's easier to plumb. Paul Conner
Sorry, you'r right, Paul.
I should have noticed the
size you mentioned, that is the heater core coolant outlet. The one
I erronously thought you were referring to is approx 1/4" dia and on the
same side as where the oil injectors are mounted.
