SR turbo oil feed leak - best fix?
I'm pulling the motor hopefully this weekend to accomplish a few things that need to be done.
Among them is the leak I have there, I didn't think to use my tap/die set last time I had that banjo bolt out .. I've been told to check and make sure the banjo bolt itself isn't the problem before I bother with anything else, so I'll be doing that first BUT ..
Most likely the block is stripped as I've heard it being common. I have a Circuit Sports SS line kit which replaced all the other fittings with AN, only the turbo oil feed at the block still uses a banjo bolt and my guess is to retain the restrictor in the bolt.
My question is, what am I supposed to do? I've heard helicoil (and that other thing like it), or tapping it out to a certain size and using AN, somebody also said to just weld an AN fitting to the block (lol, would that work ok?).
------
If any of you have experience with this please let me know what to do, and if to tap which size I will need so I can see if I have one already.
AND what do I do about restricting the oil pressure?

Best thing would be to weld an AN fitting to the block.
Helicoil is another viable alternative, PM sean1, he has my helicoil kit for the SR oil feed, just someone make sure it eventually gets back to me.

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

Weld a nut to the side of the block as a bung. Nut will take all the tq instead of the block in the future and doesn't require any mods. And costs < $.50 for the nut.

I still have to buy an AN fitting for that nut. I'd rather just buy AN fitting and have it welded to the block ... i think it'll be easier and less parts lol?

To hell with the banjo and dealing with crush washers.
Male 6AN weld bung, done, one less set of crush washers to deal with.

^6AN it is then
no banjo bolt with a AN fitting. I'm trying to get away from using a banjo, sry for the confusion. I read your thread on NICO awhile back I remember now.
