that's what I do!  Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada  |
So my '74 /6 conversion with the DWD sump tank is slowly leaking down into the engine sump. I have a leaking #6 rocker shaft that I'll have to R&R so I know my engine is full to at least to the exhaust rockers. I know it doesn't drain enough to do this if I drive at least weekly. I have a buddy who's well worn engine has hydrolocked a few times due to this.
I had to start and move the car, quite the smoke show. Only automatic cure I've seen so far is a $300 valve from Rothsport. Or I could just install a ball valve and red tag my dash for just over $20. I know it's a common 911 issue, do you other /6 owners have this issue and what do you do about it? |

Would That improved racing check valve be a good alternative to the 3x more expensive Rothsport valve (available for slightly less from Wilhoit)?
Can’t quite get my head around what you would need to fit it into a 6 oil feed line - a female fitting that fits the line and then an AN to metric adapter at the other end. By the time you do that you are almost at the price of the Rothsport valve. Anyone have any further experience with that? |

Anyone have any further experience with that? that check valve has a 1lb opening rate the facory/rothsport is 3lbs,,,and since its a check flapper , you would actually have to install it backwards..... Its the continual flow from the tank is what is trying to be lightly blocked when not running.. ie keeps the oil in the tank..at rest...little to no restriction while running.... Im gonna use the manual ball valve also..mine will be right below trunk floor ,,so the handle can be inside the rear trunk... My setup is kinda odd, But I have a huge front trunk...
