I think the one in the return hole on block is 1/8” pipe & the male on the tube is a 1/4” pipe. (Could be calling sizes out wrong) The opposite side of the tube having same thread does fit the filter. The feed tube with same threads as the return tube fits the filter & the feed threaded hole on rear of engine where the oil pressure gauge would go as well as thread just below at 90 degrees. Anybody run into this? I’m thinking an adapter on the return hole in the block to step thread up to fit fitting on return tube??? Help:confused :confused |
Which return hole are you referring to on the block?
There is an oil return hole on the lower side of the block near the pan rail that is 1/8 pipe but that is dedicated to the original bypass filter system. It has to be plugged when installing a 95% system.
