om606 oil system schematic
om606 oil system schematic
I need to make a plate that replaces the standard oil filter housing, that just has pipe outlets on it for the remote filter head and the oil cooler,
But the standard setup has a puzzling feature, the oil cooler feed line is fed from an oil gallery in the block but it has a poppet valve in the filter housing that either only allows oil flow one way through the system (unlikely) or it serves to "trap" oil in the upper block after shut down.
So does anyone know specifically what the poppet valves function is?
Or does anyone have a good schematic of the oil system?
I can easily omit the valve in my design but i'd like to know if it is not a necessity before I make that decision.
Thanks

The 617 have something similar. The attached PDF shows the flows.

And if its need we want it after all merc put it there for a reason
Me and dirtydiesel are working together with this and we understand the oil flow path just not what this little poopet valve does, as its not a thermostate and only takes a very very light press to open it.

It looks like the oil comes in through the poppet valve out through the larger hole in the block with the smallest hole being the bypass.
