or just pull the coolant feed plug from the front of the block and find the thread pitch via tap set.

Its an m12x1.25 but I can't find a nipple for it because apparently all brass barbs are pipe thread and they have a slight taper to the threads...idk that's what the guy at Oreilly said...Last edited by Redscortgt93; 05-19-2013, 10:50 PM.

that came off a bit snappy ^^ lol, it's just nice to know there's alternatives out there, like the oil banjo bolt Chris found for like $3.-Jack

Just back from the machine shop! Needs cleaned up by hand and painted (crank laying in backwards I know) haha
All cleaned up and ready for tedious masking and paint
All painted in silver..I tried a new brand of paint from my machine shop and Idk if I'm liking it. It's not silver enough. Looks more like primer to me :/ I'm gonna get some VHT engine paint like my turbo and use that.
Mocked up the intercooler. Gotta trim a little behind the bumper, but it should all fit well.

Also it'd be nice to find an alternative, the only way I can think of an alternative is to find some metric threaded rod with a hole in it.
Found a possible alternative. Still have to order it, but i'm not certain of the actual thread that goes in that bolt hole. If it is M12X1.25 then this an alternative
This trick banjo bolt has 12x1.25mm male threads to work with standard 12mm bore banjo fittings, but the head is drilled and tapped with 1/8 NPT female threads.
Use that with the proper npt fitting and you are golden. Sorry for the snappy sounding comment.Cincinnati, ohio Bengals for life

Hey sweet find! I like how they call it "a trick banjo bolt" lol
I was bugging my friend at his performance shop today while picking up some parts (IMACHU2 from CP) and yea, that's one of the 3 things we found as well lol, other was a 1/4" barb (tiny ftl) and one for fancy AN line (not cost effective for the tiny vj turbos lol)-Jack

Hey this might be a stupid question, but I started on the build today and my main cap bearings are also grooved and have a hole in them like the main bearings that go on the block side. I don't remember exactly what the old ones in the caps looked like...stupid mistake. It's about the only thing I don't have a picture of from my teardown lol ...is it normal for the cap side of the main bearing to also have a hole and groove? I understand the groove, but there's no hole on the cap to line up with...it makes no sense to me.

The guy at my machine shop and a guy from O'Reilly both said it was fine, that it just depends on the manufacturer of the bearings. I have king bearings and all 10 of 'em have an oil hole and groove. I also went back to my machine shop because he had my old bearings and the cap side bearings were smooth and the block side bearings were grooved and had an oil hole like normal.Last edited by Redscortgt93; 05-22-2013, 07:13 PM.
