So, the 911 motor died in montana, the six conversion was considering jettisoning the tranny, and on the lift is the four cylinder 914. For a brief time i figured the fracking had paid off, but now I have to admit major problems with oil leaks.
Most of the trouble is probably from the oil pump gaskets, Melling. Along with oil filter console leaks.
I also want to replace the case bolt sealing nuts with new ones. I cannot find them though. All that i can find are 12 mm nuts for type 1-3 engines. Have they really stopped making the sealing nuts? They look like nyloc nuts with rubber in place of nylon.
Thanks folks.
Warren

Note, the leakage isn't likely to come past the Nylock insert.

Where they do leak is from between the washer and the case, between the washer topside and the nut. I put down a little Permatex between the case and the washer and a dab of YamaBond between the washer topside and the nut on final assembly.

This area isn't under pressure if the PCV system is working properly. More of a weep risk than an outright leak.

I thought that the bolts were made to run through oil galleries in the case, and therefore subject to around 3 bar of pressure. I agree that this isnt a big worry area, but am surprised i cannot find the nuts. Perhaps the nyloc nuts will do the same thing as the rubber sealing nuts.
Thanks
