Head oiling

[Nemesismachine]

I know this has been asked here and the other forum, but I am having issues trying to find the information I need. Is there a list of part numbers ANYWHERE of the following:

fitting for the oil distribution block (on motor)
oil line to head
Tee fitting for head
fittings for tee to lines
line from tee to turbo
fitting on turbo
any restrictors that may be needed

I have been looking for the better part of 2 hours, and am starting to get a little nauseous.

Side note, do they have to be crimped pressure fittings or can I make them with screw on fittings?

They can be crimped or traditional AN fittings.

I don't think you will find part numbers because the parts are so generic, you would only find #'s if you wanted a specific brand. That being said;

The oil distribution block on the motor is pipe thread (NPT) and I believe also had one inverted flare fitting, but that was removable. I do not remember if the stuff is 1/8th or 1/4 size.

The oil galley in the head is also npt.

The size on your turbo is specific to what turbo you are running, and your turbo will dictate if you will need a restrictor. I am running no restrictor to my turbo, but have a flow control valve going to my head. They are fed from different lines.

I believe all this stuff is 1/4 inch npt, but I'm going from memory here. Personally, I used npt to standard inverted flare 3/16 fittings and then used steel brake line because I can bend and flare the lines to my specifications. If you go to almost any parts store and ask to look through their brass cabinet you will find this stuff.

Tell you what, I have to put something in my garage, so I will go out now and look for you. :thumb:

Ok here we go.

oil dis block on motor is 1/4 NPT. It has 3 openings, one for pressure sensor, one for turbo and one that was closed (remove nut). So the 2 open holes are 1/4. I used a 1/4 to 1/8 reducer then a 1/8 to 3/16 standard inverted flare adaptor which allowed me to run 3/16 Inverted Flare brake line to feed my turbo. I used some off the wall metric fitting to adapt it to my turbo, but its a holset so I don't know what you need.

The third hole in the distribution block I kept 1/4, but used a 1/4 NPT to 1/4 Inverted flare brake line fitting and then ran the 1/4 brake line to a flow control valve (and went back from brake line inverted flare to NPT for the flow valve) The hole in the head for the oil galley is 1/8" NPT so I used a 1/4 to 1/8 NPT reducer.

If you wanted to run a T on the head you would want one of the three outlets to be 1/8 NPT, the other two for whatever size fitting you want to use for feed and turbo oil.

On your side note, you can make them whatever line/fitting you want. Brake line was easy for me, hydraulic hoses may be easier for you to get or make. You can run AN stuff too, it is pipe thread but they use simplified numbers instead of fractions.

Hope this helps!

On all the oil dist. blocks I have seen, there are 1/8th NPT female outlets, and a 1/4 NPT male inlet which screws into the block.

All the garrett turbos I have seen (I haven't looked at a GT series) are 1/8th NPT inlet for the oil feed.

The 1/8 npt female outlet on the distribution block unscrews from a 1/4 npt hole!

That could be, I just haven't seen one like it yet.

Actually, yes. I just wish I lived closer to see it in person, get some more pictures.:P

hahaha no I wish. My parents have 4 so i convinced them to lend me one.

[shelbyplaya]

Here we go, I got them this morning in -8 (-14 wind chill).

It's all done with -4 russel lines, they where pretty simple to make my self. I need to add a smaller restrictor in the head.

Hope this helps some.
