Attaching the Hoses
Remove the oil filter from the engine and attach the engine adapter. Make sure the two ‘O’ rings are in place. I used a little grease to hold them in place. Take note of the orientation of the engine adapter hose connectors, check the markings, inner and outer, this orientation will be required later. Outer is for the outside of the filter, and the other is the inner of the filter (threaded section). The oil from the engine is pumped through the outer of the engine adapter, through the remote filter outer (small holes with rubber one way valve), across the oil filter element to the inner threaded section of the filter, then to the cooler and returned to the engine via a long hose to the inner threaded adapter on the engine. If the hoses from the engine adapter are on the wrong way, the one way valve in the oil filter will prevent oil circulating through the filter and cooler. Take note of the orientation before you mount the adapter.
ok - excellent guide - i have a couple of questions with this though. im probably overthinking it. but i just want to make sure i get it right.
does this mean the oil cooler is fitted on the inner of the the two lines?
also with the core mounted straight up and down - which way should the lines be going in?
should oil be flowing in from the remote filter to the top of the core - then from the bottom of the core to the engine?
thanks heaps
