Helper Monkey Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I have learned a long time ago to do research on which ever kit I am building. Every photo I found online of the hemi had the oil filter on the left/drivers side of the motor. On the kit it appears to be on the right/passenger side. Am I correct in assuming that the model is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper Monkey Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 ALL big block Mopar engines the oil filter is on the drivers side , Including the 426 HemiThat is what I thought. Does anyone know if there is an updated engine front piece or should I remove where the filter attaches, and attach it to the other side?

Helper Monkey Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Scratch what I said. As I looked more in-depth at the motors. The part I am referring to is not the oil filter. Not entirely sure what it is. I think its some kinds of emissions part, ERG valve or something? It is the part that is located under the alternator. I hate to admit it, I do not know much about these older cars. My expertise was always on things post 1990. Most of the cars I had were after that time. Either way it appears there is no oil filter on this model kit. Has anyone on here ever scratched built the oil filter and mounting? If so, do you have pics I can look at? Other wise I will just have to figure it out and do it myself. I know I saw that all aluminium HEMI being built on here. that is well outside of my skill set.

The part you have indicated is a mechanical fuel pump. Oil filter should be on the drivers side, at the front of the engine. You can see it poking out, at the bottom next to the fan blade.

Cheers, Lance No I see the oil filter in the picture on the real motor. Its grey. Its not hard to miss. I would have assumed a fuel pump would only be in the fuel tank. Shows what I know. Basically the model kit does not have a oil filter or mounting for it. I do not even see a reference to them on the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenkocamaro Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) This was the best photo I could find in a hurry, which may help you on making a mount. Cheers, Lance Edited November 11, 2015 by Yenkocamaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 They have missed one of the most important parts of the engine...the oil pump, all Mopar B and RB engines has the oil pump in the outside of the block low on the drivers side and the mount for the oil filter is also the end cover of the oil pump.The oil pump is the part shown in white on this picture.

unclescott58 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yea, it looks the Revell Hemi in that kit is missing the oil filter. I find it interesting Matt, that you did not about the fuel pump on the passenger side of the engine. You made the comment about thinking the pump would be back with the fuel tank. Until maybe the last 20 or 25 years or so, it was rare for a vehicle to not have a mechanical fuel pump similar to what you see on the old 426 Hemi. Sometimes they were mounted on the right side of the engine. Sometimes on the left. And almost always up near the front timing gear. As modern electronic fuel injection came into being, electric fuel pumps became more common.Boy it makes me real old when somebody doesn't know something like this, that I think of as common knowledge. But, if you have not work on or with old cars much, I can see where this would be not known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Monkey Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Every car I have owned as been from the 90's. A 93 plymouth sundance, a 95 dodge neon, a 98 dodge neon R/T, a 91 Grand Marquis, and finally a 91 Subaru Legacy. I do not think I worked on anything older than a 87' Trans Am GTA.

MrObsessive Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Scott, you're correct in how time flies! We think of terms in of the '50's and '60's because those were the first cars we (I) saw when I knew what a car was. Fast forward a bunch of years, and times along with technology changes. My first car was a '69 Dodge Dart, and it was about as basic mechanically as you could get back in those days. I'm at the point now that I don't even bother working on these new cars. If something's wrong with my Challenger (it was recalled recently for an alternator issue), to the dealer it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I know what you mean, Bill. My Focus doesn't even have an engine! You open the hood and there's nothin' but plastic and hoses and wires and stuff, no engine to be seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69NovaYenko Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) The first car I purchased with my own money was a very high mileage `63 Nova with a straight six.You could open the hood and look straight down to ground on both sides of the motor. Now engine bays are packed so tight with emissions controls and electronic boxes you cannot see the crack of dawn let lone the ground. LolI stopped wrenching on them in the eighties.

Helper Monkey Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 I am just surprised that there is no oil filter and pump on the model. Its kinda disappointing. Now I assume the fuel pump has a line that run from the gas tank and then one to the carbs correct? I look at the photo I posted and I see the fuel pump with a line that goes up the motor and splits to the carbs. but then no other line leaving it. I am assuming that is because the pic is of a free standing motor and not in a car. Again, assuming that hole I can see would be where the lines goes from the pump to the tank.

unclescott58 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Your correct on you last posting Matt. The fuel line from the tank would attach to where you see the hole in the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
