that's the best I can do with what I have.. input plz

 

another question.. If I pull the oil return line off my pan, should oil pour out of the return fitting?
I know it sounds like a retarded question, but I had to take off the return today and I lost about half a quart. if the oil level is as high or higher than the fitting on the pan, how the **** is the oil going to flow into the pan?

 

Doesn't look bad, but I'd still clock the center section a little more towards the block so it pretty much drains straight down into the block. The tap looks pretty high, yeah you will loose a little bit of oil depending on how much the pan is filled.

 

Like 90blackcrx said, clock the centre section a little bit more and you should be good to go. As for the oil coming back out, think about it this way. When your engine is running, all that oil in the pan is going through the engine so the pan isn't always full like that.

 

Yea clock the center section more towards the block. You don't want any kinks in the line.

 

doesn't look too bad just gotta get rid of that kink if at all possible. Here's my oil return line with the same manifold design. 6000 miles on this so far and no leaks whatsoever and the turbo seems content with the flow. Flow is probably very good because oil takes a very short trip right into the pan. As the line went through heat cycles it kinked very slightly but no problems have occurred from it so far.

 

looks good.. thanks for the help
