I am looking for a spot to dump the oil, I can drill and tap the upper pan, but I just changed the gasket on the lower pan a month ago.
I found a plug on the front of the engine above the vacuum pump and to the left of the power steering pump. What is it for? can I use it to dump the oil.
How many of you have a by-pass filter and how did you do it?

08-21-2009, 01:39 PM #1I am engineering my own oil by-pass filter system. I am going to feed the filter by adpating a distribution block to the OEM oil pressure port. The block will have a port for the OEM oil pressure sending unit, a port for a pressure switch ( Electric fuel pump circuit ) and a port to feed the by-pass filter.

(08-21-2009, 01:39 PM)Rudolf_Diesel I found a plug on the front of the engine above the vacuum pump and to the left of the power steering pump. What is it for? can I use it to dump the oil.Its the timing chain idler gear shaft. (98a)
Quote:How many of you have a by-pass filter and how did you do it?I tapped the oil filter housing body and return it to the valve cover over the timing chain.
The injection pump has a fill port on the side (below the ALDA nose) that would be a very easy dump location.

So it would not hurt any thing to use this port...I would essentially be dumping onto the timing chain.
Quote:I tapped the oil filter housing body and return it to the valve cover over the timing chain.
I thought about tapping the filter housing, but I like to keep everything in a state that one day it can be put back to original. Even with the mods I did to the turbo, everything can be back to OEM in a matter of hours. Obviosly the turbo drain cannot, but that is how they should have done it - silly Germans
I don't want to drill and tap my valve cover. I have a lot of hours smoothing and sanding as well as my pretty paint job

That may be a good spot to use, I could maintain a steady supply of oil feed to the pump. I know it is getting oil, but I want to ensure it is steady like the MW. I was going to make a billet bottom cover with fins and a port to supply oil, but this idea may work better.
How do you like the system?
Can you notice a difference in the look of the oil?
I was looking at the FS2500 system, but I imagine it is quite pricey. It looks great, but alas I am a skpetic and must see for myself and I also like to do my own fab work. I am going to use a 3 micron filter that is available at McMaster-Carr. The filter housing and filter is about $ 35.00 and replacement filters are about $15.oo.

(08-22-2009, 10:23 AM)Rudolf_Diesel So it would not hurt any thing to use this port.Its not a port, its a shaft.
Quote:How do you like the system?So-So. There is no visible difference in the oil but it does reduce soot content according to my oil tests. I added a neodymium magnet from a hard drive to the filter bottom for extra metal-catching ability. I also put one on the oil pan drain plug since I can't find a replacement plug with one in it.
Can you notice a difference in the look of the oil?
Quote:I was looking at the FS2500 system, but I imagine it is quite pricey.Very. My system uses a $12 oil filter base, $35 Amsoil filter and about $40 in hose and fittings.

I needed a little cleaning and polish, but otherwise was complete. I had to extend the inner pipe - someone cut at one time.
Here are some pics of the install:

08-27-2009, 02:30 PM #5After getting a cut in hours (temporay I hope), I decided to keep the project on the cheap. I remembered seeing a filter housing in the garage and dug it out. It turned out to be a Frantz Filter circa 1965 ( a TP filter for those that don't know). My dad bought it when he had his first Corvair and paid about $40.00 back in the day.

I decided to go with my original plan and use the plug on the front of the motor.
I drilled out the plug and tapped it for M12 x 1.5 threads. I did not machine the face as it looked as though it made contact with idler shaft - maybe for some additonal support?
I also added a couple of reliefs to make sure the oil had some place to go just in case the shaft did not allow it to flow freely, so far so good.

08-31-2009, 10:19 PM #6I ended up changing the dump location for the by-pass filter. The pump was filling up to fast and it ended up damaging the fuel cutoff vacuum actuator.

(03-01-2011, 05:42 PM)dust I just looked up the oil filters for the Merc, and noticed they were canister. Don't know why I keep thinking mercs are spin-onsOnly on gassers
I wouldn't mind getting an STD..
