Vsure feed and mag post oiling systems

Post by Dennis_Brown » Wed Sep 27, 2023 10:15 pm

I know they both were fed by oil thron up by the flywheel set up. My question is how did it get into the front of the motor.if oil went into a drilled bolt, how did it get inside. Isthere a hole sideways thru the block on the inside of the bolthole or is there a drain hole in one of the front pan bolt holes by the crankshaft?
It has been a while since I have looked over the inside of a block and pan.

Not sure about “Vsure” specifically but some use a pipe fitting that replaces a pan bolt on the front of the motor. Some use a 5/16” tube. Others use 3/8” copper tubing.

Some use a fixture that is bolted or brazed onto the front side of the pan.

Apparently the Texas T oiler is favored by many.

Couldn't find anything about a "Vsure outside oil system" but focused on the use of a hollow bolt. As you can see it does through the timing gear cover on then into the oil pane. Other oilers have attachments that go on the edge of the oil pan.
