Default Remote Oil Filter & Block Plate Ports

Getting ready to hook up the oil lines from my block plate to the remote oil filter. Just want to make sure I'm not getting the lines backwards. I think the output from the block plate is the port towards the front where the oil pressure sender is and the rear port is the return. The flow then routes through the center of the oil filter (threaded nipple). Is this correct or do I have it backwards? Also, I'm assuming that there is no right or wrong direction for flow through the oil cooler, looks the same on either end (Mocal). Thanks.

Brad

Default Oil system

2KWIK4U.

The oil cooler can be plumbed either way.

Regarding the remote block that goes on where the original oil filter housing went, you need to look at where the line fittings come off your new adapter, make sure the return line after it has gone through your remote filter and oil cooler, this must go into the main oil gallery, so the general idea is return clean oil at the right temperature (oil thermostat required) into the main oil gallery!

Hope you can understand that!

Please be sure you get it right before you start the engine. I got mine backwards by accident and cost myself a set of bearings on my very first startup. Oil will not flow backwards through the oil filter.

Unfortunately I am not where I can look at the orientation for you, but I seem to remember that the oil filters are fed from the outside and return from the inside. The plate on the engine has the sender on the RETURN line from the filter, meaning that your oil pressure is measured AFTER the filter.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong here.
