When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Those elbow fittings definitely will not fit in an FJ frame. And the mod is not needed on a bike anyway - they get plenty of oil to the cams when used for the designed purpose -- delivering kookaloo in a motorcycle!

IF for some reason you really wanted to do it - that is not the way!  The oil from that galley is not filtered.

I added a filter in line when I did the dragbike. Using the after market cast big block I had a lot of issues with oil leaks - so I "dry blocked" it. Had to use low profile banjo bolts and had to narrow the banjo fitting slightly. Even then had to grind down a wrench to fit between the frame to tighten it up a hair when it seeped at first.

NOT worth the headache to do on a bike!

Thanks for your info. I know the mod is not necessary, but the look say: "its tricky" and it is another gadget  :gamer:
