Preventing oil froth and accusump installation point.
franky - 25/9/09 at 04:23 PM

I've completed my oil system, with a remote filter sandwich plates/accusump install point and thermostat..... I've used foam under points mounted to the chassis to help prevent oil froth due to high freq vibration is this enough? Also I'm not overly sure where to install my accusump. I was going to install it between the driver and passenger so its easy to get to or has anyone got any ideas? I'm not keen on an electric valve as the new ones which allow the correct flow are quite expensive. how have others mounted theres?

I've got pics of the system and accusump injection point in my photo folder. Rescued attachment DSCF1118.JPG

Would it be better to have the filter after the stat, that way if the oil cooler has a fin that comes loose, it will get caught into the filter.

No as the oil would only get filtered when the stat was open which will only be about 10% of the time.

No I mean in the oil return path from the stat, so what ever way the oil flows(temp depending) it has to flowback through the filter.

They're only on the oilstat..... it needs them as its not got firtree connections.

None of the other pipe work has them. What happened with yours?

Most instillations have the filter before the cooler incase the engine explodes you don't have to throw away the cooler because it's full of metal.
