[bloodasp90]

hey guys, i think the heat has gotten to me today, i utterly cant remember for the life of me witch side is the oil feed on the block for the oil filter housing, i want to say its the main bolt, but for some reason i keep thing wrong, so witch side is it?

Are you talking about this???

Or this?

 

[bloodasp90]

yes, but from the block.. witch side the the oil feed from, and witch side is the oil return? sorry, the heat was really getting to me.

 

[bloodasp90]

no one knows?

The fitting coming off the housing is the feed, and the bolt that screws into the oil pan is the return.

I'm confused...

i was referring to the block side... from the block, witch is the feed and witch is the oil return to the block from the oil filter, basically like a GE would be, ive taken apart my oil cooler set up, and now cant remember witch side is the pressure side from the block and witch is the return (not the oilpan)..

I think I see what you are asking. Oil always enters the filter on the outside and exits from the inside. So to answer your question, the little hole around the outside is the feed from the pump, and the big threaded hole in the middle feeds filtered oil to the main oil gallery.
