Gary Lewis Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Hole in head was probably heater connection. Oil filter is a bypass system, Plugging the supply line at the block will work. Filter can be relocated, most of them I saw were on the front part of the intake manifold. I love the home made closed crankcase ventilation system! Thanks, Bill. But this show shows the two heater hoses on the front. Maybe I'll just plug that hole. And I think I'll bypass the oil filter for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Thanks, Bill. But this show shows the two heater hoses on the front. Maybe I'll just plug that hole. And I think I'll bypass the oil filter for now. Maybe that was the temerature sender. Don't bypass the oil filter, put a plug in the supply. If you bypass it you will just be dumping oil back into the pan, and will have no oil pressure.

And I didn't mean I'd bypass the filter. Just plug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just the one trying to re-learn what I've forgotten about the Chevy engines. Bill is supplying the knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, some times you have to use what you have on hand. No, I didn't have a nice 1/2" pipe thread plug. But I had a brass nipple and a cap. So why not? And it won't leak - right, Jim.

Gary Lewis Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Looks good to me! I'm afraid I know nothing of post war inline sixes.. But you know what the sealant is, and it is on both ends. Ain't gonna leak, regardless of where that opening goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in my top box, one it my Go box and one in the sealants tub on the shelf. I do NOT have an open can of High Tack anywhere..... anymore!

Gary Lewis Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 I now have 3 tubes. One in my top box, one it my Go box and one in the sealants tub on the shelf. I do NOT have an open can of High Tack anywhere..... anymore! I have an open bottle of an equivalent of High Tack. Open because if I put the lid back on it'll never come off again. The last two times water pump pliers got it off, but it is now misshapen and doesn't want to screw on. So yes, that's my go-to stuff, both for a sealant as well as to ensure SS fasteners don't gall.
