What kind of oil and fliter are you guys using. My 7.3 has 140k miles on it and I am running Shell Rotella 5/40 in my 6.0 Powerstroke just wondering if the same will work well in an IDI
I'd love to install a bypass filter! Any threads detailing a typical installation come to mind?
install a line with a small orifice from one of the two oil tap-off points(rear top of the motor, and down by the oil filter). Then just run the return oil back into the crankcase somewhere - valve cover, IP gear cover etc.
That surely looks like an International version of the engine! Just for a start, the oil pan is reversed? I suspect that the oil port uses shown are what IH used those parts for, and were driven by where they mounted stuff, not by special characteristics of the ports. On the left side, there is a location for the shutter stat, for example. That's not a Ford thing, right?I found it interesting that the Ford Supplemental Service manual posted up in the Tech Section a month or so ago has some line drawings of the engine with callouts of oil galley ports for specific add ons like bypass filtration and air compressors. I wonder if there's any engineering behind these labels like flow rates or priority oiling preferences ect. It's on PDF page 21. That particular drawing shows a curious valve cover and CDR tube arrangement on the drivers side for the manual being dated July '91, well before the IDIT motors.
