Hi, If you pop down to your local hydraulic/pneu fitting shop and find a male 6mm hosetail to 1/4 steel standpipe fitting and unscrew the outer

Hi, if you connect the outlet and inlet ports together then you need to make sure that you have the right sort of fitting on the outlet, it has an internal sleeve and an o-ring to direct the oil up the pipe, otherwise it just circulates within the housing.

The fittings on crank driven pumps are either m18 0r m20 depending on the type interim or gems, and if you are just wanting to blank off the cooler then just plugging the holes will be fine. If you want to add a cooler then things are a little more involved as the oil port nearest the crank can just...

Adam, I recently fitted a 4.2 serp engine to my toy, having had years with the old style oil pumps I was concerned at the apparent lack of pressure when cranking, but I was confident that all was ok and went for a start. Pressure buillt almost instantly the engine fired! This was on an engine that I...
