Briggsy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hi guys I've used the search for days now with no answers,hope it's the right place for my question. I am fitting an oil cooler and relocation kit and I need to know which is the oil flow and return from where the oil filter housing and associated parts bolt to the block. I've removed these Parts and when you look at the block there is a large threaded hole and a small one just below it which seems to go to the oil pump am I right in thinking the small hole is the oil flow to cooler and the large one the return..

Chris Wilson Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The centre hole of the filter canister is the EXIT hole for oil to the bearings. Oil from the pump flows INTO the filter through the OUTER holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've got some pics of the stock oil cooler on the engine while my engines out, I'll upload them later if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullAttack Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 This is the setup I use on my 1j.. Delete the water jacket housing.. With this sort of take off plate, as you look at the 2 plates you'll notice the holes are in the centre and to the edge. Just make sure your line goes from centre to centre, and other line from edge to edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FullAttack Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) People need to take care: http://speedflow.co.uk/oil-take-off-plate-wrong-oil-flow-markings/ Taken from that article.. The Problems It Can Cause When the oil is sent to a remote oil filter housing that has the hoses correctly connected this will lead to a problem. If an oil filter with an integral non return valve has been fitted then the oil flow will initially be halted. The build up in pressure may well lead to failure somewhere in the system. If the oil filter does not have a non return valve there is potential for the oil flow volume to cause the element to balloon out and tear / break up. This later scenario results in no oil filtration and filter paper contamination of the oil system. Neither of the above is a desired outcome and could lead to a costly engine failure.. I recent had to deal with results of someone doing this... I found what looked like blue roll in the sump, thinking about it now, could have been the paper element from the filter... Spun the bottom end.. New engine please.. Oil was being pumped wrong way through the filter.. Think it was starved of oil and dried shells, the head also dried out and inlet cam seized and broke the dowl off the end and spun the pulley.. Lol.
