Step 15 ? Install the Pressurized Oiling System:

Here you are going to tap into the engine oil pressure system at the Oil Pressure Sending Unit and install a ?T? fitting to supply pressurized oil to the Blower bearings. You will also be installing the low-pressure oil return line to the fitting in the oil pan you installed earlier.


Disconnect the battery.


Install the ?T? Fitting and High-pressure Oil Hose

Find the Oil Pressure Sending Unit on the passenger side of the engine block. It is right above the oil filter.

Unplug it and remove it. You will need a 1 & 1/16-inch wrench.

Install the supplied Brass T fitting and reinstall the Pressure Sending Unit. You will need a 9/16-inch wrench for the T fitting. Also be sure to use thread sealant or RTV sealent.

Plug the Pressure Sending Unit back in.

Attach the high-pressure oil hose (gray) to the top of the T fitting you just installed. Use Thread sealant and a 7/16-inch wrench.





NOTE: Before you install the High-pressure hose to the Blower you must make sure it is absolutely clean inside. Please be sure to perform the next procedure, it is important!

Find the Power Distribution Center (PDC)on the passenger side inner fender and remove the cover. Look at the underside of the cover to identify the location of the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) Relay.





Pull this relay out. This will disable the fuel pump, injectors and ignition system.

Find a friend to help you for a few minutes. Also find a ?catch can?.

Reconnect the Battery.

What you need to do is hold the end of the high-pressure oil hose in a ?catch can? while someone cranks the engine over. You want oil to start to flow out of the high-pressure oil line you just installed. This will ensure it is perfectly clean inside.

Once you get 4 or 5 ounces of oil out you are set.

Stop cranking and disconnect the battery again..

Plug your ASD Relay back in place and out the cover back on the PDC.

Top off engine with clean oil as needed.

Now route and attach the high-pressure hose to the open (top) port on the passenger side, front of the Blower, like this.






Install the Low-pressure Oil Return Hose

Attach the 3/8-inch hose between the brass hose barb fitting on the driver side of the blower, toward the front (bottom). There is a 90-degree brass hose barb fitting already installed there.





Attach the other end of the low-pressure oil return line to the hose barb fitting you installed in the oil pan in an earlier step.

Be sure to trim this hose to the correct length. If you leave it to long there is a possibility that it will hit the steering shaft.

Using supplied hose clamps tighten these down.


The Pressurized Oil System is now installed to the Blower.
