Hey guys,
so i bought a block, rebuilt it, put it in, only to realize that oil is gushing out the oil feed line for the turbine. turns out the oil feed from the block had been stripped, then helicoiled, but crooked, so the banjo would not sit against the block flat, and thus the gushing of oil...fun stuff..
anyways im trying to think of ways to fix this without having to take it out....again

thanks and let the brain storming begin

Tap for bigger bolt and use copper washers

thanks for the ideas guys!. i redid the helicoil (because i ended up pulling it out at first) and used a an fitting in the block and redid the oil feed line, so now it doesnt use a banjo.

thanks again!
