Safety wiring: oil

walk_n_wind · June 8th, 2012, 04:48 PM

Drilling-up some oil-retaining bolts for safety wiring. So far I've found the following:

Oil filter bolt
Oil drain plug
A second oil drain plug (?)
Oil filler cap
Oil line from top end to bottom end

That last item looks sorta like a brake line, going from the top end of the motor on the brake side to the bottom end of the motor on the clutch side. On the bottom end, it appears to be attached to an oil pressure sensor or something. Do y'all safety wire that end of it?

Thanks for the answer, @tiggen - how do you safety wire it? What part of the oil pressure sensor setup do you drill through?

One end of the wire is wrapped around the switch above the shoulder where you'd put the wrech, and the other is wrapped around the neck of the hose. As long as the wire is taut, the switch won't be able to back out. Not sure if that's the preferred way, but I haven't had any problems with it.

Alex,
I'm not sure what/where the gaily bolt is. Can you post a picture possibly?

Ok John,

Can you post up a pic of this? Or better yet come up here and you can show me first hand.

Thanks

Be very very careful if you are attempting to drill the oil pressure bolt (located on the right side of the engine towards the front). The bolt is hollow. I messed up my original ...

Spoke with AFM (NorCal racing club) techs and they approved using high-temp silcone over it (like you would do the brake banjo bolts).
