Here it is...

Up until now I was using a modifed oil level sender (drilled and tapped)... but it doesn't work well and leaks a little since you can't thread in a NPT fitting very well because the "meat" of the flange is offset too far.

That is until now...

Here's the new fitting. This will allow a 3/8" NPT fitting on the outside AND inside, thus allowing a 90 to be used in the oil pan to ensure that the drain opening is never above the oil level.

Just in today...

Anyone know what the p/n for the triangular gasket is? I could really use one!

Tony - how much for those jobbers?

B951S

Very nice...I was thinking of tapping the big turbo return banjo bolt. How much is that machined unit?

keith & B951S,


Calll Lorenzo at L&M Machine. 661.257.4840 Tell him Tony the Porsche guy sent you. He did the program for the cnc, so making more is a breeze.

Nice piece, so did you give up the oil level sender?

PS: I've never used that gasket, use loctite 574 (that is porsche glue isn't it, the orange stuff) instead. No leaks...

Or you could try Hylomar. That's what I have on mine and it has worked for 2 years.

Nice piece Tony, I just cut a piece of 1/2" plate when I did mine. Ugly but effective.

Copper tubing? Tony – I’m surprised, you usually do better than that!
Seriously – the copper tubing will work harden from vibration/heat and eventually crack.

I've been using copper tubing for years and years on many cars and have never once had a problem.

Not saying that I couldn't happen, but I've never witnessed a problem.

I've used it on for 20 years on oil pressure gauges. Not once, on any of the cars, has there ever been a problem. Thus my decision to use it for the oil catch can.

Tony - can you post pics of the entire vent/catchcan/return system?

Oil pressure or level sender??? I did not think we had level. Surely its the pressure on the botton left side of the engine looking at it...

Sam Lin

Level.

Where on gods green porsche does the level sender report to?

NZ951

I am 50% through making one that was going to drain via a valve. If I could tap it into the oil level sender, which I always monitor anyway, that would be great! I did not want to give up my pressure gauge. Little help T?
