Default oil lines

Okay, so I read this somewhere. I'm pretty sure it was on this site. Buuut I'm rerouting my oil lines cause my last Turbo died from the excessive pressure of a sandwich plate so I've seen a few people run their feed from the bolt above the exhaust manifold in the middle of the head. What size is that bolt? I was told it was a 1/8bsp but I want to reassure before I buy the fitting.

You made another thread about this problem when you could have just replied to your original?



To can tap the head to what ever size you want so just choose one and order.

I'm not sure what size it is but you could just take the bolt out of the head and check it. Make sure you use a -4 for the feed and a -10 for the return. That maybe part of your probem, that and the sandwich plate. Never use a sandwich as your oil feed source, way to much pressure. Also make sure your turbo feed isn't clocked. Do you have an oil restrictor on your turbo, if not you may want to look into one.

I T'd the feed off the oil pressure switch from the block. No problems.
