I need a little bitty part

[Guest]

I removed the auxiliary oil line from my head and can no longer find that small 5/16" fine thread bolt that closes the hole. Unfortunately, it is not a standard bolt but has a large head and a shelf to crush a copper washer against the face of the head to seal the hole. Anyone have a spare hanging around? In fact, I am feeling so generous that I will give you the entire auxiliary oil line kit complete and in good shape for the tiny little bolt. My kingdom for a bolt.

Oh, and I am not shipping to Australia or Ireland for free, you would have to pay at least shipping; and I still want the bolt free though.

And I have plenty copper crush washers.

Bill,

I bought a bolt at my local hardware store, in the SS section that was just an ordinary 5/16" bolt and cut it to length and it works fine on the head currently on my engine. It matched the one that I took out perfectly (except that the head wasn't rounded off on the corners).

But if you want to be a purist, let me see if I have one with a bigger head on a spare cylinder head tomorrow. If I do, it's yours.

Call TRF. I lost that same fastener many years ago and they sent me a new one. At the time, early '90s, it cost around $9.00. Talk to Dave.

Ya drive a hard bargain Bill. I will check my spare motor at home tonight to see it it has the external oil line. If it has (and Paul doesn't come thru) I can send it over.
Regards
Craig

Craig,

He doesn't need the banjo bolt with the oil holes in it, but rather the stock head blocking bolt for no oil line.

The big 3 must love when people buy the hardware with the parts. I've been using all SS nuts and bolts from my local True Value for 1/2 what the big 3 get for regular ones. Most all threads and lengths can be matched and my guy is small compared to other hardware stores.

Aloha Bill,

I somehow ended up with a whole Spitfire engine when all I wanted was a rocker arm.

I checked and that part is the same (101202). Maybe it's the same as a regular bolt, maybe it ain't - I've got no use for it and can have it in an envelope wiki wiki. I live on the airport (well, the Hickam side) and it'll go out by air within hours. Want it?

Should't we start calling it the Big Four instead of 3?

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys, I found the little sucker.

I check my mail everyday for that tr3 overdrive tranny Bill. What is up?

Not enough stamps in my office to send it. :lol:

Anyone still have one of these, I would like to get one. I want to remove the DPO's installation of this aux oil line.
Let me know and I can make arrangements.
Thanks

N47,

I removed the bolt and copper washer before I took the Spit engine apart. (thrust washer was in the pan and the block & crank were ruined). PM your address and I'll shoot it to ya.

I don't see that it's any different from other bolts ("BAX" on the head) but it did come from that spot on the head.
