on some installs the oil thru the cap runs down the sidewalls and winds up being sucked into the turbo vent....you will notice oil consumption. to beat that install a turbo oil restrictor on the fill cap, then the elbo, then the line. the restrictor will raise the pressure of the oil and send it smack down the middle of the fill hole with out touching any of the side walls.
loom is good, heat shrink tube even better.
the fittin ends that are tapered rely on the seat of the connector to seal so no tape there.
tape is needed on the non tapered straight machined fittings that got to the cap, and to the bypass mount surface.
the billet cap that goes on the fill hole gets a rubber washer ....falls off all the time.
All parts cleaned up and taped. Cleaned all the parts out with brake cleaner. Used the yellow gas tape.
I used a piece of galvanized angle for the bracket. Actually worked really good. Had to move the coolant filter forward due to the fact that the steel braided lines that come with the kit are just long enough. No extra.
Top side will the caps installed.
How I ran the lines.
All secured up and zip tied.
Top side all hooked up.
Filter installed. Put 1 qt of oil in the filter to start. That’s what the directions off Sinister Diesel website.
Another question, since you add a gallon to the filter during install. Do ou pull the filter and drain it every oil change? Or is it just gonna be a 5 gallon capacity and just gets 4 changed at a time?
I used to to remove the filter and drain it but the filters get chewed up pretty bad with the claw filter wrench I use....so now I disconnect the oil line from the oil filter cap and use this fitting to force air thru the bypass filter and 10 minutes later the oil in the filter drains into Pan. Then I drain the pan.
