Hi, Rusty....My 13b has an aluminum plate covering the
old injection pump location. Do I just drill and tap for an NPT fitting in the
plate covering the old pump?
Ooops, I just remembered that I'm actually returning to
the turbo oil drain location on the front cover, and not the injector pump
location. When I took the turbo off, I just made an aluminum cover
plate with a hole tapped for 1/4"
NPT.
You don't
by chance have an old picture lying around that shows your plate and/or fitting
going into the engine do you?
Amazingly, I don't have a picture that shows it.
My return
line presently goes to the oil pan, but to drain the oil, I have to first remove
the PSRU drain line. It would be better to run it to the oil oil injection
location. Thanks for the info. Paul Conner
I ran my oil drain to the oil pan plug location on the original
engine. This violates the rule of returning oil below the level of oil in
the pan, but it worked fine. Having to remove the PSRU drain line to drain
the oil was the best part of that system. I left the line free, so I could
remove it at the redrive, then lower it toward my catch pan to drain the
oil. It was totally mess-free. I miss that now, especially when I
have to drain a little oil to make up for the pre-mix
scavenging.
