So, I've just rebuilt a 911SC motor to put into my car. It's mounted in a start cart, and to cut a long story short, it has no oil pressure due to no oil coming out of the tank.
It sounds like a kazoo if I blow into that fitting, but I cannot suck anything out of it. I'd have thought that that fitting would open straight into the volume of the tank, but maybe there's a pipe in there that's collapsed?... Anyway, I'd like to understand exactly what it looks like there before doing anything drastic... This is, incidentally, a factory -6 tank. Thanks very much in advance! @mb911 Ben, I'm tagging you, because I figure if anyone on this site has cut a tank open, it'd be you... |

Oh man - sorry to hear you’re having trouble.
See post 211 for internals of Ben’s tank as a generalization. This was a DIY tank I did so I’m sure Ben’s is far better welding and probably slightly different execution but this was also done with Ben’s oversight so shouldn’t be too different. Fitting in bottom of tank is direct to the tank volume. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...5209&st=200 @mb911 |
