oil drain blockup?
 
hey everyone I took my turbo kit off for temporary time and I was wondering if any of yall had any ideas what I could use to block off my oil drain? Theres a nipple that sticks about 2 inches out of my pan. I want to clamp somthing around it just to block it off but not sure what! Well lemme know if yall have any ideas or have had past experience with this! Lemme know Nick!

this is why alot of people use threaded flanges for the oil pan, you can plug those with a simple bolt or plug.

consider that change when you re=install your turbo or during your next oil change.

as of how u are right now. try a home depot im sure you can find something to cap it off.

you can use a copper end cap from home depot in the plumbing dept. Use a hose connect that to the drian pipe and other end push the copper end cap into the hose and use a hose clamp to hold it place, it won't leak, unless you going off roading ;D. A big enough bolt would do also.

i used a fat bolt wrapped in teflon and shoved it in hte hole. held up pretty good since theres no pressure there.
