Does anyone know what size is the weird bolt under the pushrods. It's the one thats like a big allen head bolt (I think it's called an XZN or torquehead). I think it threads into the oilways.
Cheers Moggy |

It is a secondary oil pressure relief valve. It dumps directly back into the oil pan.

Try using a 3/8" socket extension.

That special bolt holds in one of the oil pressure relief pistons and spring. |
