5VY plumbing??? PLEASE
Wes - 24/5/16 at 07:57 PM

Hi all,
I'm in the process of trying to plumb my engine R1 5VY engine into my MK indy and having a nightmare. I don't suppose anyone has a drawing or could sketch me a quick one at all? I'd be very grateful as I've been on it for 4 weeks now and got nowhere.

Many thanks

No diagram but from memory...

Thermostat housing to top of rad. Bottom of rad to water pump inlet pipe (steel pipe with drain screw in it). Small pipe near sprocket to throttle body thermo-valve and other side of that goes to small pipe on head beneath TB's. Outlet from oil cooler T'd into top hose. Expansion bottle (used VW globe type) lower outlet T'd into bottom hose. Rad' bleed and 'stat bleed T'd together and into top of expansion bottle.

OK thanks for that. I'll have a good look tomorrow and see if I can put all that together. Thank you very much for your reply.

Good luck!
