I have a major oil leak coming from the oil feed line at the head. When i went to replace the crush washers i noticed that the hole where the bolt goes into the head was stripped. So with this happing the bolt wont tighten down enough for the washers to work and oil is now shooting out of there. Some one told me to look for a block off bolt and run a new oil feed line off of the oilfilter housing. Where do i find this kit? Also with this hole being stripped do i need to retap it? Please help in any way. Thanks

Heli-coil it.
My cylinder head was seaping oil from the same location after my new turbo was installed. After I drilled, tapped, shop-vac'd the hole, and inserted the Heli-coil I was easily able to tighted the stock banjo bolt enough to seal the leak. No leakage sense in 800 miles. I have the kit and more coils if you want to help split the price with me a bit. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
