Hello,
how do you call a joint that fix two oil lines to the engine block. It has a form of a "t".
Ask:confused:

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 wonder...

...how they say "Home Depot" in German?
 
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.

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,:D but now the gasket from the manifold makes trouble. :mad: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?
