Hi guys, has anyone fitted a supplementary oil feed line to their engine, such as the below or similar?

Interesting idea. But is it possible to install this without removing the manifold?

 

This guy masterminded a solution looking for a problem. By this logic, how could cylinder #6 in the 4.2 ever survive?


Surprisingly, the GM and Isuzu engineers with accredited degrees from around the globe, training and access to unlimited engine building data blew it. We are saved.

 

How did GM engineers come up with the idea of installing a thermostat from below? which causes the engine to overheat.

 

Badland Industries is VERY versed in the Isuzu I5 (canyon, colorado, H3). He has a rebuild service for them and has torn down his fair share of them for rebuild.

Just because some engineer with a strict budget for mass production did not think of it does not mean it is not possible that there can be improvements after production. I can think of several instances where this is the case. Just a fee: ALL Cadillac Northstars, early GM LS engines and even the Toyota FA20 (early production).

 

My point if the same oil system feeds the I6, and neither suffer failure at the last cylinder at any different rate than elsewhere.

Atlas motors do NOT overheat because of the T Stat either, regardless of where somebody thinks it should be located.
