Where Does The Oil Restrictor Go?

[Shaun]

Just double checking here. I pulled my engine down the other day and noticed two holes in the block of the same size. One had a restrictor in it and the other was blanked off all together (see pics). Im just wondering if the one thats blanked off is a modification done by a previous owner, or is it like that from the factory?

Also, either way, should i leave it as is or replace the restricor with the smaller Tomie item that comes with my head gasket.

Thanks,

Shaun.

rb26's have only 1 oil feed from factory.

the tomei restrictor goes over the top of the std restrictor in place

best idea would be to read this thread ..

Thanks mate, i had a read of that thread but i couldnt make out the photos (sorry guilt toy). So i just insert the Tomie one on top of the standard one thats towards the front of the block? Would it be better to remove the standard one and replace it with the Tomie?

Sorry for all the questions; feel like a bit of a noob but i just want to be absolutely sure.

the pictures i posted in their regarding the restrictors are from the tomei website.

the restrictors just need to be placed on top of the std one already in place in the block.

you could try removing the old one, but there is not much need for that, as the restrictor is of smaller diameter so the larger version below/ before the smaller restrictor will not make an effect on the system or oil delivery.
