I have looked at the oil flow diagram from clarks garage, but it doesn't seem right/complete. It doesn't show the oil thermostat. Seems like if the thermostat was closed it would restrict the flow to the engine.
Also , does the oil flow to the main gallery (crank) before it goes to the filter. A wrench said this to me, but it seems conflicting.
Does anybody have a good flow diagram?

 

goes to the filter before the crank- Pump-->Filter-->OPRV-->Crank-->top end-->drainback. As far as i know. I believe only some of the oil is diverted to the cooler- do they have a thermostat in a 951? i thought that was a 911 thing but i could be wrong.

 

I kinda agree with him. wonde rhow I did it again. iirc oil is pumped out the side of the block.. or was it the other way around? gah gotto check.

 

yes the 951 has a thermostat. the oil cooler is blocked of until the thermostat is open. there are 2 thermostats available 105degrees celsius and 95 degrees celsius. the 105 is standard and the 95 an update

going to the pump before the filter is a dry sump 911 thing. Oil comes straight out of bottom of the tank into the oil pump, then it is filtered as oil is re-entering the tank.

 

Thanks guys; I'll look into it some more.
