Greetings,

 

Thanks to all who have sent pictures, and offered = suggestions about my oil dilemma.  As I mentioned previously, I have a fitting = on the way, that should work for the oil cooler return port, so that should be = settled.  Oil to the redrive and turbo will come from a port that is on the top of = the “front” iron housing. 

The only remaining question is where I return the oil = from the redrive and turbo, and I’ll take a new look at my options IF I = ever get my engine free from Franken-cowl :-) 

 

For the record, I will not be drilling any holes in = the engine as long as it’s sealed up.  If I ever pull the oil pan, I = might consider drilling the return hole in the housing = “foot”.  Unfortunately, I just can’t picture exactly where you’re = talking about drilling this hole.  Can someone post a pic with an arrow to = the location of this return fitting? 

 

Thanks,

Rusty
