Oil system diagram, and oil cooler installation & routing Options

[stugray]

Ok, here;s my latest:

This is right after engine disassembly.
I put the oil system back on for a sec to get a picture.

What you see is a tangerine racing oil cooler blockoff plate.
In that I have 2X 3/8 NPT X 10AN adapters

The top port is the OUT from the engine's oil pressure relief valve (Also a Tangerine racing valve insert).
This line goes to a bracket on the side of the fan housing to 12AN lines that run to the front oil coolers.

The bottom port is the IN back towards the engine.
It has the return from the oil coolers from the left, through a one-way check valve then to the tee that feeds in to the engine.
Also connected to that tee is another 10AN that comes from my accusump.

Here's a side pic:

Here is a basic model of the standard OC block off plate:

If I made a modified blockoff plate, I could eliminate a lot of that plumbing.
So here is a plate that brings the AN fitting at a 90, eliminating one turn.

And on the back side, there would be a port for the accusump:

I think I will ask Cris if he can make one.

What was wrong with buying the $10 off the shelf cooler adaptor? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Owned a car once with factory dry sump and the reservoir held a lot of oil (like 9 qts).
Thinking the pumps must empty the tanks pretty fast so need adequate reserve.

Isnt what you are referring to what I have now?

AFAIK, the block off plate I am currently using is the most basic you can get.
I can just eliminate a lot of fittings with the new blockoff.

And if you recall me asking about using rigid 5/8 Al. tube in place of SS flex, NOW you know what I wanted to replace.

I knew what you were doing, it's not rocket science. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
I'd use seamless steel hydraulic tubing and if you wanted to be anal you could use the stainless steel flavor. Although it would take over ten years of heavy, salt spray, 4 season use before I'd worry about the regular steel hydraulic tubing. Then you could still use all your fancy fittings and some of the hose you have.

Two things I don't like about the CB dry sump pump is the pressure side only has 21mm gears and it has a aluminum cover.
In my book aluminum covers are garbage and I've seen excessive premature wear in less than 1000 miles.
