    Default What does this port on M50 oil housing do?

    There is a big allen plug on the oil filter housing as seen here with the arrow pointing to it



    Can anyone please clue me in as to what it is for? I'd like to hook up an accusump or oil cooler to the stock oil housing but I am not sure it'll be possible - what does this port do? Is it pressurizied oil? Any help is appreciated!

    Off-topic, but does anyone know the torque specs on the 3 bolts that hold the housing to the block?

    most of the extra holes in stuff like that is for access to the internals for machining or adding a check valve
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
