    School me on oil flow...

    I can't seem to find this answer definitively anywhere in manuals.

    How does the oil flow in our motors? (I'm asking for the purpose of understanding where to tap for a pressure gauge.)

    Is it:

    #1: pan -> filter -> pump -> block/head ?

    or

    #2: pan -> pump -> filter -> block/head ?

    ThX!

        it is: pan - pump - filter/cooler - then galleys....

        right after pump pick-up you have your have pressure sender.
