Question, do you know if you get good oil pressure out of that port on the exhaust cam for your turbo(im assuming thats your turbo feed)?

Ok, because I was using that same port for my turbo feed but it didnt seem to be oil coming out of when I took the fitting off, it was barely wet.

I really want you to make me that little adapter coolant line you made for the (forgot what its called.....that should'nt be made of plastic) coolant neck thats on the side of the head.
I hate that dam line going over the exhaust.....thats so stupid.

oh but then the coolant doesnt get nice and warm before going into the overflow tank and the engine could run a little cooler which could increase performance, you dont want that

It's a 2.2 ps pump in place of the ac compressor
aluminum ps and alternator pulley is already on my drawing table 
is that a direct swap and bolt on? (other than rerouting ps pump lines and getting longer ones)
same belt and ps performance?

What about using the Ho water neck and taping it and running a braided line or something?

^^Right,
Just cut the damn hard line close to the side of the head, slap on a braided line with a clamp and be done with it. That is how Ive been running mine for 5 years now.

Yes same belt
I did the pulley smaller to compensate for the difference in size between the 2.4 and the 2.2 crank pulley
to keep the same flow of the ps pump

The older quads are aluminum. Spencer has one on his w41. Shouldn't be hard to drill and tap for that line. Those are my plans when the motor gets built.

the quad head's have a port for the 'bleeder' line whereas the LD9's is in the water neck housing. if you use the quad's you would then need to drill and tap for the LD9 line, or simply just use a bleeder screw and be done with it.
hell, i didnt even know it would bolt on. in fact iirc i read somewhere that said it did not... idk.

Same reason why im confused, I thought it didnt bolt on either. I will verify later this weekend.
