Oil squirters/ piston oilers discussion
#83
Sorry to necro this thread but I wanted to give thanks for it and also ask a dumb question or two.
Anyway, I'm removing my squirters. Especially in light of what the #3 squirter did.
How does this sound for a set of block-off bolts?
M10x1.25x10mm bolt + lock washer + regular washer
or should I just go bolt + copper washer
I was thinking red loctite on the threads and for torque something like 25 ft lbs, which is roughly double factory spec.
I figure it's safer to ask a dumb question now than choose badly and have to deal with this bullshit twice.

Because m10 are generally longer. It doesn't even matter though. Just cut longer one down. It's not like it's going to rust in an oil galley. Or stainless if your engine will sit.

Still crazy that they ask that much. Finding an m10x1.25 flanged stainless bolt isn't the easiest thing either. My local ace didn't have em. Going to try Fastenal next.

Not surprised that Ace didn't have them, metric bolts are still specialty items in US hardware stores for no reason I can figure out.
OTOH, 30 seconds with Google and:
