[Fot] Supplimental oil feed to head

[fubog1 at aol.com]

I make them up out of good AN hardware, instead of using the pre-made 
kits. The ones that I have seen use swaged fittings & I don't trust 
them.
Another benefit to plugging the head/block ports is that eliminates 
that potential oil leak at the gasket joint at the rear of the engine.

ps- you can also use little freeze plugs in lieu of drilling/tapping 
the ports.

While I have never fitted one of these to any of my engines as I've 
never found the need they are simple enough to make and you can do a 
far nicer looking job that the one from Moss of VB that uses the oil 
sender location for the off take.  I have one of these somewhere if 
someone wants it.
 
You can get two AN-3 fittings, and make a nice proper length AN-3 oil 
hose to go between the rear most oil passage and the bolt fixing on the 
top.  Probably for a 1/3 the price the Moss kit is.
 
I believe the standard practise if you fit one of these is to block off 
the oil passage that goes through the head by drilling and tapping a 
plug at the block.
