how the ---- do banjo bolts hold?

yeah man, how the ---- do banjo bolts hold seal? like it looks like the oil/coolant would just come out..

i got 3 banjo style fittings on my turbo so want to know if there some washer or something i need to put in the banjo fittings..

also does the hole of the banjo fitting or bolt have to aim at the certain direction or can it be any direction?

thanks

like the kind that come on the tial wastegates? or the ones that are on your fuel filter or in your fuel tank? it helps to have a couple washers and some teflon. when we turboe'd my biddies prelude he stripped the ---- out of his, I solve the geyser with some washers and teflon tape.

banjo bolts need a brass crush washer... you can't reuse the brass washer unless you've got tools to heat the washer to being cherry red and letting it cool again... toyota used them on a number of places on the mr2... they are much more secure then using a connector then a hose w/ a clamp

... much more compact to boot.

i'll check in the next day or so to see if that washer needs to go against the bolt or by the bottom of the bolt... it's all toyota used and there is no issues w/ oil leaking

your local parts store should carry various sizes of the copper washers...mainly for brake systems...but they are all the same.

yup copper washers. You put one washer on each side of the banjo fitting the slide the bolt through all of it and tighten it down.

and this will seal the oil/coolant/fuel, whatever the liquid

so those washers are basically "gasket" for the banjo fitting eh?

2000vsm GL finding them, i needed some for my gastank, I checked ct, napa and nadda.

I had to buy a 20 dollar fuel filter to get 4 washers out of it, i stole the washers and returned it, but thats not the point.
