Lube Circuit Access
 
Anybody know a spot, besides the oil pressure sender hole, where you can tie in to the lube circuit on a 3V 5.4L? I've looked on the engine and in the books but haven't found anything but that port for the oil pressure sending unit...but I'm double checking in case I missed something.

Tapping in a bypass filter? That's the only spot I know of on the motor, but I'd have to search also...haven't heard of one though.

Yep, 3u bypass just for grins.

I'm not sure about the 3v, but the 2v has a plug outboard of #2 & #3 which is connected to the cam's oil galley. I used it to oil a blower for a while, and then decided to switch to the block/oil sensor port as the idea of stealing oil from the cams was worrying me. iirc, there are ports on the back of heads as well.

Thanks ONELOWF, I'll look.
