Hello I have read alot of threads and also Ttabs injection delete section on his thread on Dootalk also, all learning the proper way to delete the oil injection.
I have read that when you remove the oil pump it is suggested you lift the back of the sled and make sure the cavity where the pump is removed is full of oil, I did this and I am concerned whether the cavity has to full of not, I decided to make sure the cavity would be full by making a block off plate and I drilled it out and installed a 1/8 in 90 degree pipe fitting and ground the back side of the fitting smooth with the block off plate and installed a hose on it to run up along side the frame work where the the upper hose you would use for a site hose above the pump or install a fill bottle like the 440 or 600 rs , so I could fill this hose also making sure the oil pump cavity would be full, well I reinstalled the block off plate the cavity was pretty full but I had the sled lifted up as far as I could maybe a 45degree angle or steeper the back of the 159 tunnel was a good 6ft in the air the cavity was close to full. so I installed the block off plate with the fitting and hose running up the chassis, leaving the end of this hose open about the same height as the other site hose. again so I could fill this hose after everything was put back together.
Then I hooked the hose above the pump to a see thru automotive fuel filter for an inexpensive oil resivoir and when I started to fill the site tube or automotive fuel filter that hose is connected to up if was takin oil slowly since there obvously has no breather mechanism helping it fill any quicker so I decided to blow in the hose with my mouth to push the oil in quicker, and when I did this air and oil shot up the tube from the oil pump block off plate I had the fitting and hose on,
So my biggest questions and concerns is when oil is put in the upper hose does it fill up the lower cavity which is where is seems to be the shaft that runs thru to drive the oil pump on one side and the water pump on the other, when you put oil in the upper hose as a site tube or hook it to a resivoir of some kind DOES THAT OIL MAKE IT BACK DOWN TO THE CAVITY THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE FILLED UP OR DOES FILLING THE SITE TUBE OR RESEVOIR SUPPLY OIL TO THE LOWER SHAFT???? seems like it would or make its way down there sence when I blew with my mouth in the upper hose it shot oil and air up out of the hose hooked to the fitting I had on the block off plate..
So It seemed I didn`t need the fitting in the block off plate so I removed it took the nipple fitting out and put a Plug in it and ground the back side of it flush again and the cavity had about the same amount of oil in it if not a tiny bit more or al least enough it was to the top of the level considering the heigth I had the back of the sled lifted up.
The sled is an 04 Summit X 800HO with a 159 track and I had the back of the tunnel a good 6 feet or higher in the air. is that enought oil??
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, I`m running the fuel filter resevoir for now untill I order the 440 or 600rs racing resivoir to make filling that tube simpler.
Has anyone else ran it to this same sinario also??
Thanks, Darren
