I changed the omp out tonight and i guess i am having problems lining them up because i can't see the oil flowing through the lines. Do i just need to turn the bolts and wait (with the car ideling) or does the car need to be revving.

Thanks alot
Brian

 

what do you mean line them up? just tighten them down and your done, no lining up involved with replacing your MOP. I know, because I just did it... it sucks having a bad MOP doesnt it?

 

if its fresh oil and old lines it might be hard to see the oil. If your unsure if oil is flowing, you better premix until your clear its working.

 

There are little holes in the bolts(only on two sides of the bolt) and then one hole in the metal ring at the end of the lines. I just figured they need to be lined up. They are old lines so it is kind of hard to tell if the oil is flowing

 

they are banjo bolts, just like used on some brake lines and fuel lines. All you need to do is tighten them down and torque them to spec and you'll be all set.

 

thats cool thanks. I have never seen one before.

 

like i said, tighten them down and your done!

 

i think those banjo bolts are used in the pulsation dampner too, no?

 

Coldfire, no they are not.

a banjo bolt is a bolt that is designed in such away as to alow the flow of liquid (be it oil or ****) through itself into, or out of, whatever it is connected to. At least in this context. For instance You have a banjo bolts on the oil cooler which are much much bigger than those on the omp.

 

hmmm, i must have had one too many beers...
