Hi Guys,
My original post didn't work for some reason!
I'm after advice on putting the oil pan back on, when I took it off the link pipe had already fallen into the pan so not sure where it goes?
It's the pipe on the right of the pic.
16530-42F00 Pipe, Oil Outlet Under
Thanks in advance
Red
@Red Biker it's the oil outlet pipe from what i can see it goes to the oil pump and returns excess oil back to the sump .it shud fit on to a machined part of the oil pump as far as the microfiche shows.
get under and have a look hopefully it'll be obvious
good luck
seth :onya:
If I remember right, the end with the 2 lugs goes up into the front right hand side of the engne where the oil outlet is. It goes over a bracket just next to the outlet. The other end goes up into the engine. They are a swine to fit as they always want to fall out under gravity. I solved this by using pliers to gently close the gap on the pipe lugs and give it more grip onto the bracket. Wish I had pictures as I spent ages trying to fit it without it falling off.
Good luck :salute:
EDIT*** Yeah, that picture above :clapping:
Brill, thanks Seth/Lloyd that gives me what I needed to know :cheers:

Yep, that's what I did as well, doesn't have to be much, just a tighten up & it stays there fine.
