A Side Oiler Like We've Never Seen
The normal water heater outlets in the intake manifold were used to hide the EFI engine temperature and fan-actuation sensors. So, Van Auken built this 1-inch thick aluminum spacer to fit between the thermostat mount and the water expansion tank, and then drilled and tapped it for the heater outlet and mechanical temperature gauge sender. The spacer required modification of the expansion tank to create clearance for one of the hoses. To do this, Van Auken put an elbow in the relatively soft brass tank by hitting a tube with a hammer into the tank.
