raz Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 As far as I know the oil circuit goes like this in a V11: pickup -> pump -> filter -> OPV -> engine ----> dribble back to sump There's no dedicated return path at all, right? All oil flows out through bearings and stuff? And here is the main question: Where does the oil cooler and it's thermostat insert into that? Is it between OPV and engine? And how does that thermostat work, does it specifically alter the flow between two paths or will it just present an easier route or not? No guesses please, unless you state it as such.
raz Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 I've looked at pictures like that one and also at the real stuff but it doesn't give me conclusive answers. What is #11 for example? Is that the pressurized, filtered delivery to the engine? And what happens with the oil cooler return (not pictured)?
Tom M Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Hey Raz, I just noticed that I had bookmarked this earlier thread on the oil circuit. Hope it helps... http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8466&hl=suck&st=0
raz Posted March 6, 2010 Author Posted March 6, 2010 Yeah, thanks! I actually had that bookmarked too but my collection of bookmarks is becoming incomprehensible
