mikec Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi guys don't suppose anyone knows the thread in the timing cover for the cooler pipes? Also is it going to affect anything, flowise, if I blank them off? Don't want to find out it stops the entire oil flow if it's not looped cheers mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You cannot blank off the oil cooler pipe as it will stop the flow entirely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can't recall the thread but you can't blank them as all the flow goes through there. I made a bypass pipe, got some hydraulic adapters that screwed in with dowty seals, still had to shave the ends down to fit in the holes without bottoming. There's also a Freelander cooler pipe that fits thread-wise that could be hacked about to fit, I bought one to look at then decided to do it nicely Edit: Here's what mine looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitmole Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If your motor is a crank driven oil pump serpentine type, which looking at those fittings I suspect it is, then just blank the ports off with either m18 or m20 plugs. The "special fitting" is a way of diverting the flow when the cooler is fitted, groove at the end normally is fitted with o ring which seals inner port in case.
