19tom40 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 You can also fill the opening in a fitting and then drill a.062" hole in the solder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Brilliant idea saves me looking. Can you explain why the hole is sized smaller in the intake line? When I am better Iwill do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 To limit the amount of oil flow to the filter. Without the orifice, you may have a hard time sealing the top of the filter housing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
