Oil Sprayer Bar

[ERIC MILLER]

first off the head gasket & spray bar have little to do with one another?..Here's the best idea for the spray bar...get a new crush washers...then take a 1/16 drill bit & be careful & drill thru one of the corner of the hex..this way you can take some .
.030 monel safety wire & torque the "banjo bolts" & then run the wire thru the hole & around the bar & they will never come out again & no flat camshaft...i have been doing this for many years & charge 75.00 this includes a valve adj. & new gasket! this the only & best I have seen...I have seen the factory banjo bolts with the lock tite on them floating around under the valve cover!!!

hydraulic the block?

Exactly what is this?

oil/water in a head bolt hole can crack the block when the head bolt is screwed down onto it, hydraulic pressure can blow out a part of the block or crack it, it's no myth it happens

the spray bar is fastened to the head besides the banjo bolts by a couple straps that have head bolts going through them on m30s

Great, last week I replaced my valve eccentrics and set my valves. Well, I also removed my oiler bar to clean it and loctite my banjo bolts........

Hmmmmm, if I hydrauliced my block what should I be looking for? Car is running great, no water in the oil. plus the new eccentrics really quietened it down.

Did I get lucky?

generally the oil or water only gets into the holes in decent qualitys when the head is removed, a certain amount of luck was involved but not that much
