help!! oil line problem
got this oil fitting for cardwels 3 days ago!! :evil: :evil: (sorry im from nz)
connected it properly and so on... started the car (b16a) and nothing was wrong. no leaks wat soo ever(oil was flowing perfect)..BUT. i wanted to see how good the every thing was sealed so forced a abit of back pressure againt the flow of the oil (hardly any force) and oil just started pissing out by the part of the oil fitting that rotates freely!! :evil: :evil: here are some pics https://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g...oilline003.jpg the part on the right hand side is wat im talking about( the screw in the middle, the skinny on of the 3) once again the skinny screw in the middlw is where the oil is pissing out ( it rotates freely to give you some space to work with if you know wat i mean) https://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g...oilline001.jpg the 2 screws closes to the oil-they screw into eachother!! now could any one please tell me wat im doing wrong becuase this is the only thing keeping me from finishing my car!! :evil: :oops: thanks stephan |

Re: help!! oil line problem
If there were no leaks, why was a test to see how well everything sealed needed?
How did you "back pressure" the oil? I'm having a hard time figuring out what you did, why, and wether you broke something or you just need to re tighten it? ??? |

Re: help!! oil line problem
When you take the hose end (the free spinning part) off the fitting in the turbo and put your finger over it, it's not sealed on the spinning side (where the oil was coming from. As you tighten the hose end onto the fitting it seals itself as well as seals the other side of the free spinning part (where the oil was coming out of) Clean everything real good and put it back together. It'll be fine, it's just that the hose end wasn't made to seal on your finger, that's all.

See, so if you just have your finger over the hose end it's not tightening itself against the "back plate" and that's why there was oil coming out of it. |
