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... |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Jul 13 2024, 01:57 PM)  I saw this diagram on another thread and have a question. This shows the pressure relief valve exit as going to the pressure pump input and gravity/suction feed pipe on the tank. Shouldn't it be going to the tank return line? This would REALLY mess up a check valve on the supply line.. |
