[Fot] Plumbing question

[Scott Janzen]

I'm guessing we are talking about tractor motors.  The sixes have a port on the block below the distributor, in line with the main galley and above the pressure valve from the oil pump discharge, that is filled in at the factory with some soft metal. It can be drilled out and the port re-tapped - takes the NPT end of an AN12 fitting.  That gets plumbed straight to the accusump, so when the 'sump discharges it pumps right back into the galley.  I have a one way valve on the supply or return from the oil cooler, so there's no way oil can go back to the filter.

If you plumb it to an adapter and the filter has a one way valve, put it
after the adapter. Otherwise, you are going to need a one way valve to keep
it from backflushing the oil pump when you turn it on to prelube the engine
before startup.  ISTR putting a one way valve in when I built mine, though
it was nearly 15 years ago...
