() Date: March 09, 2016 04:30AM I am fighting an oil leak from the oil filter adapter. I ruled out the "turbo-T" as the source (where the oil pressure switch and turbo oil line attach). I cleaned everything up and have isolated the leak to coming from this bolt on the oil filter adapter. Tightening the bolt a little did not help. Going to try an seal up with RTV. Unfortunately I have to pull the generator to get to it! ![]() Nick _______________________________________________________________________ 1964 Monza Spyder Convertible #435 - Rotisserie restored - SOLD ON BRING A TRAILER 4/30/2019 - Check out my restoration thread here: [corvaircenter.com] Thanks to all the awesome CCF, CF, COG, and CORSA members who helped me with the restoration!

() Date: March 09, 2016 10:30AM I don't think so I looked with a mirror and directly over the weekend but it certainly could be. There is a casting defect there so it could be I guess. Will check it out further this weekend!

() Date: March 09, 2016 05:43PM Nick- I think those bolts on the top of the adapter are somewhat prone to leaking- up through the threads on the ones that are open to oil pressure- I've often wondered how well they would seal if those through holes were modified to accommodate O-rings- perhaps a suitably deep chamfer at the top edge of the hole- then the o-ring would get squeezed tight against the shank of the bolt and washer. Good that you caught it before it had leaked enough to mess up that pretty, smooth running engine!!! ------------------------------------ Kevin Nash Friday Harbor Washington 63 Spyder, Daily driver, EFI read about my project here: [corvaircenter.com] first test start on EFI here:[www.youtube.com] first official EFI boost test here:[www.youtube.com] My new fan!

() Date: March 09, 2016 06:15PM I used gaskasinch on those bolts and only a flat washer. I have not had any issues so far.

() Date: March 09, 2016 07:01PM You may want to try Permatex Aircraft thread sealer. I think it's a shellac based sealer and reacts to denatured alcohol for cleanup. Years ago I built a very high performance 350 V8 for my Checkmate speed boat and the experts all recommended Mercury Perfect Seal on the SS head gaskets and head bolts. The first time I did it my way which made for leaks. I took it back apart and followed the advice. Miraculous, no more issues. That product was no longer sold by Mercury Marine so I traced it down and found the Permatex sealer to be the same and they actually made it for Mercury Marine. Now any thread going into a water or oil cavity gets it on the threads and I've never had a leak except for; DON'T USE IT ON CORK GASKETS----IT DOESN'T WORK. Nick, your car looks absolutely awesome and sounds even better. Great job. You just motivated me to get going on my 66. I only wish I could do half the job you did. 64 Greenbrier 64 Spyder (needs restoration) 65 Corsa 140, restored 66 Corsa turbo, restoring now 66 Corsa 140 "RR" code coupe fully restored 67 Pontiac GTO restored 69 Corvette 427 convertible restored 2015 Porsche Panamera S 2015 Corvette Z06 1965 AC Cobra (Factory Five) Re: Nickshu's '64 Spyder Restoration Thread Posted by:

() Date: March 09, 2016 09:13PM Guys it's not sealed thru the threads. If you look at the oil pump housing the end of the bolt threads to into a void. The leak has to be thru the gasket and up the unthreaded (lagged) area in the oil filter housing. Need to fill this and the bolt cap/washer with some sealant like RTV. If it's not cracked perhaps it's not perfectly flat and leaking here past the gasket. There is full oil pressure at that spot I think.
