3sgte oil pan on a 5sfe - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #50125 5 posts Started by elvasoshexai
er... what can i use to safely temporarily plug up the extra hole on the 3sgte oil pan for the oil drain line from the turbo?

i don't hv time to install everything @ once so i'm kind of slowly installing couple things in 1 by 1.

a bolt with the same thread pitch and size.

Edit: Oh yeah don't forget the washer.

That would be a HUGE bolt.....
Good luck finding one in that size.

That plate won't help either.

I would leave it until you install the turbo.....

You can find one, there are alot of supply places online.

However you will have to figure the diameter and thread pitch first.
I don't recall what it is and don't have any out to measure.
It might even be metric pipe thread and not regular thread.....

If you do go this route be careful removing it and use teflon tape on the bolt.

You can easily find a bolt that big.....

Check your local hardware stores.
