Re: She bled out last night
I hear pro's and con's to this. I live in Washington state with a mild climate so not worried about heat but what other things need to be taken into consideration when converting to a traditional screw on? Is the entire remote system deleted?
Please advise.
Thanks - P

Re: She bled out last night
Yep, the entire system is pulled. No more leaky hoses, filter adapters, etc. Also, it frees up some space on the driver side of the engine bay.

Why (or a concise pro-removal argument)

Just keep the oil synthetic afterwards to help with temps (or so I've been told).

Thanks for the info...I must not have dug as deep in the search pages that came up. It seems straightforward enough to shit can the remote setup.

Re: She bled out last night
Just to be 100% becuase now I have read too many posts on this......
Removal of Lines and Adapter: Pretty friggin simple - got it!
Parts Needed: One fitting for block (part number in write up), Synthetic 10 / 30 and a smaller oil filter (part number in write up)....
Is this it? Check valve is already present? (Answered my own question - just need the fitting and a smaller filter)

Re: She bled out last night
Well...Success is mine! The rest of the remote system was removed this morning and I picked up the nipple adapter and a Wix filter. I have converted to synthetic and am running the Red Line fully synthetic 15w40 diesel - fantastic oil especially with a turbo (safe for gasonline motors).
The leak is repaired and I pressure washed the hell out of it so in the morning I will know if there is any other "fixes."
Parts - $70 (oil, filter, adapter)
Time - 4 hours total - cleaning was 80% of that
The write up here was excellent! Thanks to all that helped get me the info I needed.

Re: She bled out last night
I spoke to soon. My cardboard this morning had some soil spots so i jacked it back up to take a look. After further inspection it appears the gasket on my distributor is leaking. Following the path of least resistance carries the leak right past the turbo feed line, right past the spin on filter, straight down to the propshaft. F***!!! :banghead:

Re: She bled out last night
I'd bet it's -not- the dist. No oil-pressure there and, presumably, no crankcase pressure. What IS there, right next to the dist, drivers side, is the oil pressure sender and adapter fitting. Check there.

Re: She bled out last night
I'm chasing this same thing... but I replaced my my intake at the same time. So off that comes this week. Dist isn't leaking, but I was damn sure it was.
