I’m fabricating a plugs up oil pan and block off plate for my spare Renesis and new turbo FWF. I’m using Ed’s pictures as a general guide for fabrication. I’m a little concerned about the oil drain back path and volume. The path from the center iron and rear iron \ regulator would make most of the oil flow toward the front iron and down past the oil pump as the bottom of the rotor housings and center iron are flush with the block off plate. I will incorporate a recess in the block off plate to provide a more direct drain path over the rotor housings and center iron humps. The block off plate to external oil tank drain has (7) 7/8” holes. I’m hoping that’s enough to keep oil from backing up into the oil pump chain and engine cavity. I am considering using an external oil pressure regulator installed at a remote oil filter with bypassed oil feeding directly back to the tank. I know the 13B oil pumps flow about 15-16 gpm but I have not located any information regarding how much is bypassed by the regulator. Any ideas?
