Good morning,
Having completed my racing season (2nd with this car, 97VD) I am pulling the engine out for a rebuild. During this process I have examined the oil line routing closely for the first time.
It draws out of the bottom of the bell housing to the inlet side of the pump. ON the outlet side, the first two outputs go back to the swirl pot, with the 3rd going to the oil cooler and from the oil cooler up to the engine near the oil filter.
Is this a 'normal' type plumbing? Why do the first 2 outlet return oil back to the bell housing?
At the last race meeting (very hot 35 - 38 degrees C) I was having oil cooling issues for the first time hence my increased interest in the plumbing of the oil system.
Any advice/comments are appreciated.
Regards,
John
