  • Need a bolt - having trouble finding online!

    Hey peeps!

    I took this bolt out (don't ask why) and I broke it. I can't seem to find it online, I could sure use some help finding a part # or a link to it.

    See the photo. This is the left side of the engine.

    Can anyone help???

    Thanks so much!

    Well, it isn't just a bolt. It is the oil galley plug. Only help I can offer is, DO NOT try and start the engine until you replace that plug.

        Hi, Nick -

        Yeah, it appears the left side oil galley plug is NLA ... the O-ring that goes with it is still available, however (#42 on the diagram Marty posted, part #93210-18319-00) $1.40

        As for the plug itself, you could try Ebay, or PM member andreashweiss here on the forum ... he has lots of parts, and may be able to help you.

              I never knew that oil plug was even there. What prompted you to remove it?

                  Yeah, I read that, but like to learn, was he trying to polish the side cover, did the threads strip out, how did it break?

                  I recall when removing my drain plug on the bottom of engine, I worried about the same thing. It seemed so tight, I thought maybe it was reversed threaded, so I posted on here first, just to make sure. Long story short, I purchased a torque wrench (I didn't have and breaker bar/cheater bar) and it came of like butter.

                  It's stories like these, where people learn.

                    Hi, d-1 -

                    Don't get me wrong ...

                    I'm curious, too ... why he would remove the left side oil galley plug (a part that is not routinely removed).

                    I was just having a little fun with 'ya ...

                        I have several non running engines that will donate that part for the cost of shipping as long as they are easy to get out.

                            did you ever get a hold of one? I'm also looking for one too, my threads are a little rough and figured i'd replace that and the o ring.

                            pm me too if anyone has one i'd pay for express, etc.
