Banjo bolt kit help

Hey! So I'm getting a new turbo oil feed line and I need a banjo bolt kit, what's the stock banjo bolt size? I'm stumped on that. Any help would be awesome!

Can you give us more information about what you're trying to accomplish? I've never seen a stock turbo oil feed pipe/bolt fail or need replacement, unless of course you're going with an aftermarket turbo.

The 87-91 turbo 13b block's oil feed hole is 12mm x 1.5.

I have removed the emissions stuff from tens of FC engines and have never had to replace the oil feed tube.

It will have a couple of leftover tubes attached to it afterward, and if that bothers you it is easy enough to cut them off with a dremel tool and a cutoff wheel. Why spend money to replace something that isn't broken.

Unless you're making your own line out of SS braided hose, some of the aftermarket pre-fabbed hoses you can buy online are made kind of cheap and I've seen them leak or even burst at the ends where the crimp is not tight enough. Unless you are running an aftermarket turbo in a different location (or requiring a different inlet adapter) I still see no reason to change the stock pipe. It's already there, it's free, you know it fits, it sits low to the block and won't interfere with anything else, and it is failure proof.
