Allison 5sp: Is Anyone Making New Snake Oilers?
- Thread starter Bdsankey
- Start date
10-4, might have to wait until they are then. I'm pretty much out for the rest of the season due to my trans and now I'm going to be getting my injectors gone through so that will probably tie me.
Turns out weddings put a damper on your free cash to play with your pickup.
In theory Evans kit will supply cooler fluid since it comes off the return line of the trans line so its been air cooled where as the pressure port feed is probably hotter fluid since its higher pressure. Evan and I have talked about cooler line pressure and he tested it back when i was doing the cooler testing for mishimoto i got him one and he tested pressure and was a fraction of what mainline was.
Mikes is not main line pressure, its control pressure but evans should be cooler fluid
Anyone care to share what size orifice to use with an oiler pulling from the main tap? Was going to just buy one but Inglewood hasn't shown them as being available for a long while.
I have the drawing somewhere. After Mike passed another forum member who is a machinist measured his.
That said I make kits myself for our comp builds with -4 line off the return port.

I don’t see a reason to not post it. I can always take mine out and measure them. The reason Mike stopped selling them was he couldn’t get them made the way he specified and then after the newer clutch designs with the pto cover slingers, it wasn’t really needed anymore
I saw that picture on the book of faces. Do you modify the bolt hole into the case? Or just make sure it's open
It’s an open hole. I forget specifically when they quit drilling it all the way through but overall it’s a throughole.
I refuse to pay $250-$350 for something I can make for half. Sure I charge for my labor when I build them (comp builds get them no charge) but I’m not at $250.

Yes I realize it SHOULD be open, wasn't sure if Brad or anyone else did further modification. Never had an L5P case in my hands, but I believe that's when the PTO area changed?
Are you squeezing 7 plates in the c3 pack for the competition builds or sticking with 6?
I’ve done it both ways to be honest. 6 with good frictions and thick steels seems to be the most consistent for me and provide a little better shift quality.
7 works great too but it’s a bit of a pain to do.
