TEA20 oil pressure gauge pipe

kaesark · May 9, 2018

Could someone please confirm what washers should be used to bolt oil pressure gauge pipe to engine.
looking at mine it appears I have 1xfelt washer and one brass I presume one either side of pipe end P.S I hate unnecessary leaks.

I want to crank motor over by hand to push oil around having fully reconditioned motor and thinking while im hand cranking motor my son can check oil pressure reading on gauge.

Don't want to fire it up if oil is not circulating correctly if that all makes sense

Thanks.

Holy cow not for me but you obviously know what your doing.

It's hard slog kaesark but you can get the oil flowing with just the crank handle .
I faced the same dilemma when refitting my oil pressure guage pipe . I used red fibre plumbing washers , the sort used for tap spindles , this was eight years ago and no sign of a drip yet .
They also work really well for the fuel tap to tank joint .

Yeah think I will go hunt down some of
those washers tomorrow.
Thanks

Those were probably copper originally.

A real auto supply may have them, or a hardware store with the cardboard drawers full of lifes necessities!
