This is an engine pre-luber I picked up off of autoenginelube.com It's a pretty basic design and I'm really excited to get it plumbed in. This is the only mounting position I have been able to find. I'm sure there are more that allow the bottle to be in a perfect vertical position, but this is what I've come up with so far.


A question I have is... are there any other places on the motor that I tap into the oil gallery? I know some motors have a threaded plug that allows you to hook up an oil pressure sensor. Since the OM616 uses a capillary to carry engine oil to the gauge, I'm wondering if such a place on the block exists. The only place I know of is there the capillary feeds into in the oil filter housing. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
