3. OIL FEED LINE INSTALLATION

A. Completely loosen the screws securing the valve

cover to driver’s side of the head. (Note, the

valve cover screws are captivated.) Remove

valve cover, using care not to damage the

sealing gasket. V-8 models may require the

disconnection of the fuel return line (as de-

scribed in the FMU mounting section) allowing

clearance to remove the valve cover.

B. Cover the exposed valve train with a clean cloth/

rag to help prevent debris from contaminating

the engine.

C. Using the

Fig. 4-a

as a guide, mark the location

where the oil drain is to be located. V-10 models,

5" back from the front edge of the valve cover

and 2" up from the edge of the valve cover. V-8

models, five and a quarter inches (5 1/4") back

from the front edge of the valve cover and 2-1/2"

up from the edge of the valve cover. Using a drill

motor and Ø11/16" bit, drill through the valve

cover at the previously marked location.

D. Thoroughly clean the valve cover and install the

oil drain fittings as shown in

Fig 4-b

. Thread the

1/2" hose bead fitting into the 45° elbow first and

tighten, then install the drain assembly into the

valve cover. Use a small amount of silicone

sealer on the male threads of the 45° elbow.

4. OIL DRAIN INSTALLATION

A. Unplug the connector on the oil pressure send-

ing unit (sending unit should be located on the

driver’s side of the block, behind the lower cast

radiator inlet) and remove sending unit from

engine block. Note a “catch can” may be re-

quired if engine oil constantly pours from block.

B. Thread the supplied 1/4" NPT fitting into the

engine block as shown and tighten. Reinstall

the sending unit and connector.

C. Connect the supplied oil feed line to the -4 flare

fitting previously installed and tighten.

D. Temporarily cap off the swivel on the oil feed

line to prevent dirt or debris from entering the

line.

WARNING: Use engine oil on the pipe

threads, Teflon tape or sealant

is not recommended as it might

loosen and cause blockage of

the oil feed orifice resulting in su-

percharger failure and voiding

your warranty.
