i got a problem.....i've been building a all-motor b18c (jdm gsr), i've bored it out and put 81.25 ctr pistons in it, i've got a stock b16 head, blox intake mainfold, hondata intake mani gasket, msd ignition kit, all arp bolts and studs. anyways i bought the block for 500 and it didn't come with oil jets, so i ordered some and went to put them and i let my cousin tighten them and he didn't tighten it all the way so when he turned the crank it hit it and ripped out all the threads ......i took it to a machine shop and they said they don't have the right tools to fix it....so what should i do? the thread pattern is a really really fine thread.

i've got a h22 swap sitting in my garage....should i just put it in?

thanks for the help

i eventually want to go turbo but i got all these parts for free so i was gonna use them til i get my turbo setup ready.

Take it to a different shop! :o

Re: oops
 

well the shop i took it to told me about another shop, so i called them and they said they don't have anything for that fine of a thread, so i tried ordering a hela coil kit but they don't make them for that size it sucks

do you think the honda dealership can help me?

Re: oops
 

Why not stop by and find out?

Re: oops
 

you need to find a machine shop that can fix it.

you made two mistakes here.

1. building a slow ass NA all motor car

2. don't trust a cousin, ever.

It's gotta be some type of really fine thread pitch in metric. You could check out McMaster-Carr and see if they have a tap for that size. Since you ripped the squirter out, you're probably gonna need a new one anyway, so find out what the thread pitch is when you order one, or ask at the dealership. Or you can just get rid of the squirters altogether like the guys who do the 2 liter strokers.
