Oil System #2

The breather plate finally has arrived from SBD so now I can finish putting the oil system together. All main oil hoses associated with the dry sump, cooler and the oil storage tank are all installed in AN12 and the breather system is in AN10.

Made up and installed the remaining hose to the oil cooler from storage tank. Fitted the catch tank and made up hoses.

Filled the oil tank with Silkolene Pro 4 Race 15W-50 as recommended by RPE. Filled the tank to cover the top baffle.

Finally I cranked the engine without the injectors or fuel pumps connected, the oil pressure eventually showed a reading of 15psi on the dash. Topped up the oil level again above the baffle, oil used was around 7 litres.
