Re: Oil Line Restrictor?
Posted by Mike On 2010/11/15 13:31:38
The only "restrictor" in the "pigtail" side of the oil line is that the T has a smaller than optimal hole in the line going to that side (Actually both lines but no restriction on the part of the T going to the sending unit. Looks like a special T).
I would think that the small hole in the center of the oil canister being a lot smaller than either side of the T would mean back pressure would force most of the oil to the pigtail/tappet side.
this looks like a T made for this purpose...if i drilled out the side going to the pigtail, would that negate some reason for it being slightly less than optimal in the first place? I hate to drill it and not be able to find another T again if it causes pressure loss on the bottom end.
See pics below of the straight through gauge connection and the smaller side line connections to oil filter and pigtail.
