Thanks. It starts around 2 1/4" i.d. just after the join to the turbo and ends up 2" i.d. just when you want to insert a 2" o.d. middle section On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Annoyed now. We've spent ages fitting V3 turbo side of the drain, and it doesn't leak. Still loads of oil running down the back after a quick run out... Arse. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Perhaps pressure would be the wrong word.

It seemed to pump a lot of oil onto the garage floor when we spun it over with no drain on...

The drain shouldn't be under pressure, it should flow freely away. If the drain isn't vertical or nearly vertical and of a big enough diameter (12mm+) it can back up with oil end up under pressure. That's why I'm not a fan of sharp bends in the oil drains. I know a lot of guys use similar methods to you, but yours may be just restrictive enough to cause problems. |

When flow increases, pressure will drop,so, yes there will be a goodly flow of oil, but under very little or no pressure, unless the flow outlet becomes restricted in any way.

It's all about 17mm i.d. so should be fine for flow.

With a plate that thin I'd try a cork gasket rather than a paper one. It will seal better if the plate isn't perfectly flat or distorts when you tighten it up. Failing that I have some 8mm steel.. but I won't be back at the garage till Thursday. |
