If you're talking about the join
between the bottom of the engine, and the mount plate, there just shouldn't be
any pressure there.
Yes. That's what I thought. There was air bubbling out at a
single point as though someone was blowing with a straw from the other
side.
Next question- what is that fitting that's shown in
your picture?
That's the redrive
return
Rusty (decided to wait for UPS to
finish putting my engine together)
I didn't know UPS offered that service.
:)
John, is the oil drain hole partially blocked
by the plate? Could some turbo parts have slid down the hose to get
trapped?
Turbo parts? What? you mean bits of turbo? I hope not.
I
was thinking about hot oil landing on the mount plate from the redrive and turbo
returns, then running along the plate and out of the join rather than finding
its way back down to the sump. Doesn't explain the bubbling air though. I could
try the fluorescent thing tomorrow, but as Ernest said - it's pretty obvious
that I have a hole between the engine and the mount
plate.
