Turbo oil feed problem
I'm in the process of fitting a 20g and a few other bits and pieces to my STI5 Type R but have come accross what could be a major problem.
When thrying to fit the turbo oil feed pipe to the block the banjo bolt seemed to go in to but got very loose after a few threads in. When I took it out there was swarf in the threads so I'm guessing that its cross threaded the block.
All is not lost though because if you remove the pipe and put the bolt in on its own there is some good thread further in but as the bolt is quite short it can't reach it when the pipe is on.
Can anyone suggest a supplier for a longer banjo bolt or any other inventive solutions short of having to remove the engine from the car.
Oh yes, and if anyone could identify the thread on this bolt that'd be great as well incase I could have one made up.
Cheers
