51731, Can't figure this out
Posted by 98Turbo420A, May-23-03 09:47 AM
Hey guys, I'm assembling my new short block and honestly I can't figure out what this hole in the block/bed pan goes to. I dosen't have any threads that I can see, but it runs through the bedpan and out of the block....it's hard to explain. It's on the front of the block about 2-3 inches to the right of the waterpump. It almost looks as if a bolt would go through it, but i can't see any threads. It all lines up so I'm totally lost. I looked on my block and I can't see it in mine, but then again i'm trying to look through my turbo/waterpipe and everyone else that is in the way.....a little help please!

Take a picture?

You may be looking at the BACK of the block, and seeing the passage from the oil pump to the filter housing...
