remote oil filter question

aussie pete · Post by **aussie pete** » Wed Mar 06, 13 6:38 pm

I have removed the remote oil filter ( of my aussie charger), the part that bolts onto the bottom of the block (to fix a leaking seal), i notice that there is a grub screw on the right hand side,....what does this do ???...it is not the pressure relief as that is in the oil pump ie in the sump

Mmmm don't know
i don't have one

oil priming/filter emptying hole?

if i remember right the filter is in a weird place and orientation and you cover yourself and the engine in oil if you do anything with the filter

Ditto but here is a guess - sometimes those are just holes left from the manufacturing process. They have to drill a hole to create or intersect internal passages but then need to plug the access hole. Could it be that?

Tapping for an oil pressure gauge?

Is it inside the filter housing ? the part that the filter would be ? if so it is a blanking plug leave it alone !!!!

thanks for the resposes,..john you could be right , a guy told me today that it may be a blanking plug for the oil ways, so as suggested leave well alone
