im trying to bolt down the oil feed line on the turbo housing...my question is: is the banjo bolt hole and the screw that screws it down hole supposed to line up perfectly??because i cant seem to line it up...if the holes dont line up then no oil right??

 

bump...

 

i don't quite get what you said

but hopefully this site will help u out

ive been reading there website but this is what im talkin about:


lets say part11a is the one on the left and part11b is the middle one

now, do the holes have to line up when u put one inside the other?? or does it matter??

 

i do not believe so, but when i was doing my brakelines which also had banjo bolts, it did not need to be aligned.

 

so how is oil supposed to get into the hole?

 

nah they dont have to be lined up perfectly. that's why the round thing bulges out like that. imagine it like a tunnel running around the whole thing. then watever way they hole on the bolt is facing, it will still be within the bounds of the tunnel. if you still dont get what i mean, stick the bolt into that round piece, and blow in one end while feeling for air from the other. now turn the bolt 360 while holding the round piece still. you should be able to feel the air at all angles, which is why the oil can flow at all angles as well. which is why all you have to worry about is torquing it down tightly and properly. good luck

 

thanks man...appreciate it...
