Guest Intrinsic Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yesterday I noticed a slight oil leak around my oil feed adapter that connects to the engine block. I removed it and tryed to seal it better. As I was puting it back in, it snapped in half I used an easy out and went up to napa, autozone, advance autoparts, lowes, and acehardware. I can not find the proper size fitting. Does anyone know what size the fiting is and where to get one? I will probably end up spending 10$ at a performance automotive type place to get a 2$ part .

SUPRASUZUKI Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Take the bits to a local hydraulic fitting supplier, they should be able to match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 You say it snapped when you tightened it, just make sure the bolt isn't too long, as this is what happened to me and it didn't sit against the seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Intrinsic Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Well I found out what size the engine block threads are. So if anyone else has the same problem I did maybe this will help. I removed various bolts from my 1999 honda prelude (sitting on blocks due to a cracked turbo manifold) and tried to screw each one in until it fit. It ended up being 12mm x 1.25 thread. Thanks for the replies. Its all put back together now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
