***Looking for an Alternate to Oil Squirter Plugs***
Golden Eagle is backed up 3 weeks still on their oil squirter plugs. I'm wanting to get the motor done this week. Any other way I could do it? Someone said tapping it out and putting a brass screw in? Any reason for it to be brass and does it really need to be tapped out? Bottom end is already all together with the crank, rods and pistons in. Let me know.

I'm almost wondering if I could just go buy a bolt (10mm i think) And kinda make it look like the Golden eagles with a grinder? The be possible?? Then Chamfer it on the head so it'll tighten down? Does it have to be brass so it won't rust the motor?

Re: (boosted94cx)
i am putting a buddys b18c together and we were thinking of doing the same thing. we were going to use the squirters out of a b16 but they hit the crank.. how would you block off the pr3 bolts like you said above.^^

Re: ***Looking for an Alternate to Oil Squirter Plugs*** (JDM_Risa)
although i don't agree with the decision to plug them....
Best idea i think is welding the tips of the squirters. seems like a very simple yet effective solution imo

First off, u wont find those bolts at any hardware or home-depot store.
The bolt size is 8mm by 0.75 thread pitch only a metric bolt specialty warehouse would have it. Dont try to weld the holes shut or anything like that cause if your not a bad *** tig welder you'll crack or distort the alumunim.
Either tap an 1/8 npt hole or take an 1/4in aluminum spacer with 2 brass crush washers on each side.

sounds like he is referring to tack welding the hole in the block where the squirters go. not welding the tips of the squirters themselves shut

I had to plug them with some threaded plugs. I even tried grinding some of the bolt heads down but it would just not clear my LS crank in GSR motor.

U could try tacking the hole shut but u run the risk of distorting the bolt. That bolt is hollow with a spring in it and it would probally leak and plus it's GHETTO.
