Hello, how do you call a joint that fix two oil lines to the engine block. It has a form of a "t". Ask Wolfgang
It is a brass fitting found in the plumbing section. I am assuming it is for the oil pressure line and filter? I believe it is 1/4" pipe thread, but I may be wrong. Look in the plumbing section at a home supply place, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.
I'll take a stab...."Heim Lagerhaus", but not all translations are literal. They do have some large home stores in Germany, but doubtful if any will have non-metric fittings. Flashlight
In Germany we say OBI or Hellweg or Bauhaus to a DIY market. and Yes they have Fittings with inch. If Not you can go to your Next Installateur for plumbing and waterlines, sorry for the German/englisch mix
Thank you for the lesson Hello, thank you guys for teaching. I ask this question while I had a problem with this fitting. I had made by myself, I can work on machines where I build such fittings. I made it of brass and it broke on the thread that fitts to the nut that is fixed in the motor block. i don't know why maybe it was a assemble fault by my self. The thread that goes to the nut is long enough so I will try to connect it again. I saw it on a web site of our sponsor but i could remember the site and the correct term. Background: I'll get today a visit from journalists of a Germany magazine of classic cars. They phone me and ask if they can make a story of restoring a pick up. I don't know how they would like to see my truck. I didn't phone them. Wednesday a freind of mine and me we started the engine, it comes immediately but suddenly there was a gread oil puddle under the truck. One flop again. Wolfgang
Hang in there Wolfgang. Hopefully the puddle is only a small fix. Good to see the Deutschland group is still following the blog. Flashlight
T fitting is closed Hello, after I had threaded the T-fitting and screwed it to th fitting in the engine block, we started the engine again to see what will happen. Oil is tightly, but now the gasket from the manifold makes trouble. What this is, I don't know. The engine blowes out. Maybe I had pulled the screws in the wrong order, maybe the gaskets are distroyed. I will buy a new gasket, has anyone a good tip where I can get a gasket kit in a very good qualitiy? Ask Wolfgang
I used 2 gaskets and the copper RTV sealer between them. Make shure all gasket surfaces are clean before assembly.
rtv sealer??? Hi ol' chebby, what is copper rtv sealer? Is this a paste of copper? I uasually take this paste if I fix two exhaust tubes togehter so they can rust. Wolfgang
