I purchased my engine second hand and it came with fittings installed for the oil cooler that are not in the Vans configuration. I'm trying to figure out what plugs and ports I need to get this all set up. The installation/operation and Overhaul manuals weren't much help.
The current configuration is highlighted in red. As you can see, the banjo fitting is installed above the oil filter. It also came with a fitting installed in the lower "out" port and a plug in the upper "return" port. The manuals describe the port above the filter as being an alternate "out" port to feed the cooler. From what I have read it looks like I need to plug the port above the filter and install a port on the return to the left. That looks like parts 1,2,3, & 4.
Questions:
What is the purpose of the spring and plunger, parts 2 and 3?
It would seem that with the current configuration the oil cooler would be non-op. Is there anything I am missing here or is that top port not a feed port?
Just to note, the engine was torn down and reassembled after it was removed from the A/C, so it is possible that the port config is different that is was installed on the A/C.
