- The Accusump comes with 1/2 NPT ports. Tapping the block for this size seems pretty big but I do want good flow. Fittings seem to come with 3/8 NPT to 6 or 8AN, and 1/2NPT to 8 or 10AN. My tendency

- I used the 3/8" to 8AN Gauge Adaptor fitting (Russell #670080). I drilled and tapped directly into the oil gallery that runs along the side of the TR4 block. Works a treat. Cheers Peter V WORKS-4

- You can apply the KISS principle. If you run a remote oil filter or screen, tap into one of the oil lines. Saves you the effort of tapping the block. The accusump comes with plumbing scheme instructi

- The connection to existing lines never seemed very KISS to me. It's a lot of plumbing and I hate the thought of check valves in the oil lines. In my previous life as a nuke, stuck check valves were t
