Subject: Re: [DIESEL] Turbo drainage to pan (Vanagon)
Bryan:
The taller block may help provide a little more slope, but I am troubled by
tapping into the oil pan. While I had the oil pan off, I set it flat on the
table and started adding water to see when it started to overflow the lowest
edge (the one nearest the manifold side of the block. At about 2.5 quarts
water started spilling out. That means that the oil level resides above that
edge of the pan at idle. Draining oil from the turbo to this point would seem
to bring the oil in below the oil level. (I believe Mike Snow reported
different results in a similar test. I can't explain our differences, unless
we have different oil pans.)
Is there a way to run the drain line over to the opposite side of the block to
drain into the "top" of the oil pan? Does anyone who has done this have
pictures they can send me or post to the web?
