Another oil line question....
 

ok, this is the last of my oil line questions ... pretty much just a few that didnt get answered in my other thread..

i have the stealthmode kid and may i say bling bling!!!

1. what should i use on the threads??? i have heard teflon tape can break down due to heat, and it can end up in your turbo and muck it up .. what are the better options???

2. instaling the oil return fitting into the pan .... the kit says to just screw it in and use silicone but i hear its better to weld it.. is this true??? is the oil pan made of aluminum or steel??? i dont want to go burning through it!

Re:Another oil line question....
 

1. Locite (Not the Strong Red Locite)

2. Welding is better

Re:Another oil line question....
 

really??? isnt loctite just like super glue but stronger???? what if i need to get it out ......

we use loctite here at work and its strong ---- .... guy went to the hospital once cause he glued his fingers together!!! :)

and is the pan steel?

Re:Another oil line question....
 

1. I never used teflon tape anywhere alse other than the block and the tee near my firewall. You can use liquid teflon if you don't want to use tape.

2. Which oil pan do you have but from your screen name I'm going to assume the pan is steel

Re:Another oil line question....
 

yeah, d15b7 .....

and liquid teflon??? is that a good idea???? where do you get it??

what oil pans out there are not made of steel????

Re:Another oil line question....
 

I always use loctite (thread locker whatever) on the threads. On the oil pan, it doesn't matter what your oil pan is made out of because the fitting is brass and you can't weld it. I would use some type of very strong thread sealant on that, (some use jb weld) and put it on as if you will never take it off, because that's the plan. It would be a fucken mess if you ever took it out anyway. (the pan)

Re:Another oil line question....
 

JB weld dominates the oil drain industry.

there are 3 different strength of locite, the red locite is hard and stong, there are two other that is not hard and strong that works well, i think they are blue and green, i forgot

Re:Another oil line question....
 

hell yeah jb weld does rule!! my ghetto fitting is jb welded and hasnt gave me problems at all. its stuck to the pan like a mothaf**** ;D

Re:Another oil line question....
 

so how should i do it???

do i need to use washers???? should i use silicone and jb weld????


whats the process of putting it in with jb weld??? sorry for all the dumb questions.... i just want to get it right the first time .....

Re:Another oil line question....
 

6g D series use aluminum pans.

drill hole on pan.
clean it, roughen the surface with eg. sandpaper.
mix JB, put on JB wait till it`s tacky, install, done

Make the hole only just large enough to thread the barb fitting through the hole. Get it to start threading in (and make sure it isn't pointing down) and before it threads all the way in put jb on that ---- and then thread it the rest of the way in. After it's in you can put more jb around the base of it. Just make sure everything is really clean, and you give it lots of time to dry fully.

Re:Another oil line question....
 

thanks guys!!! do u also recomend to use the jbweld on the inside of the pan around the threads for extra sealing protection????

Re:Another oil line question....
 

I wouldn't. I don't like to put anything on the inside. I'm scared of ---- falling off at 7000rpm. JB weld on the outside should hold fine. I've never had any problems.

nice, it should only take me another 6 months to get this car running! .... lol .....im a slacker

Re:Another oil line question....
 

Boost, I gotta bump for the excellent write up. ;)

Re:Another oil line question....
 

by the way, you guys told me too put 3.5 quarts of gas in the pan and put the fitting just above where it sits.... how far above???

also, do all the honda motors use 3.5 quarts or just the 1.5???

i always put 4 quarts in all my honda motors!?!?!?!?!?

Re:Another oil line question....
 

just use your judgement with the return fitting and all D engines I know of take 3.5

Re:Another oil line question....
 

yeah all single cams take 3.5 quarts. You can also use Hondabond instead of jb weld. I have seen some people tap the pan and put the JB inside of the pan and it seems to hold just fine. I plan on putting HOndabond on the inside and outside. What do you gues prefer? Is it better to go with a barb fitting or go with a screw in type fitting (like earls.)
