Header Help Needed


JEFF

Recommended Posts

I need to block off the smog fittings on the

header that i just bought. they are threaded

but i do not know the thread size - does anybody

know the thread size? Or is there another way to

block them off.

Once you find the correct size make sure to use plumbing plugs.Plumbing threads are done in a tapered v .Therefore as the diameter increases it seals the hole.A standard bolt or electricial plug is not tapered and you will get a leak around the threads. Daniel

I found out that both of the taped holes are straight

threads- One is M20x1.5 and the other is M22x1.5

Those are fine thread metrics. I went to a local fastener(sp)

place and got one of each and a crush washer for each.

( crush washers are also found on a spark plug )

I've cranked them tight but will not be starting the car untill

the middle of next month - I'll let you know how it works.
