Default Regarding oil squirter threads...

Messin' around in the garage tonight, I realized B series oil squirter threads are the same as road bike chain ring bolts. Quite interesting I thought. Too bad the allen head is not sealed, and oil will just spit right out...BUT, you could fill the bolt with JB weld and it would be a very cheap and easy oil squirter plug.

You can get these for free in most bicycle bins, and JB Weld is a few bucks at any hardware store.

They do make actual allen key plugs too. I wouldnt want jb weld getting loose inside my engine. Just figure out what thread they are, most likely metric and then get some plugs.

the threads are 8mx.75 - good luck finding that anywhere.

GE makes a plug kit, or you can use NPT 1/8 plugs.

Just thought I'd share some information...every bit can help- you could obviously take some

I can pick those up at the local bolt store... but this is europe.
Sounds like M8 x 1.75 from your description.
