Bill, I have not tried that, and I agree that the original holes are
small. If you still have the block apart you could re-drill the hole
to a larger size. My Accusump connects to where the oil cooler line
connects to the adapter plate on the filter head where it then
supplies the oil journal. I also installed a check valve in the
cooler line to prevent it from back feeding. Joe(B)
