Hello everyone

I have decided to have the Zetec oil jets fitted to my Turbo engine in order to make it as reliable as possible, but my mechanic, a good but prudent friend, says he is pretty scared about the possibility of ruining the block. Truth is we don't know the A-series engine here in Spain as much as you do!

I know the instructions given by TurboPhil in

http://www.turbo-mini.com/44648/23109.html

and I have read a couple of postings by TurboDave on the subject, but I found no reference to the relevant angles for the 3 mm hole that connects to the oil gallery...

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanx in advance

Cheers

Old post recovery!

As some of you may notice I never made it to Avon Park, my mini had a problem on the RR the week before last and as such is out for rebuild!

I have had some zetec oil jets in my box for the last 4 years and always promised myself I'd fit them when it next comes apart.

Anyway I'm now looking for an answer to the same question! I understand that I am aiming for the main oil galley, but how wide is the galley I'm aiming for?

Any advice would be greatly appriciated!

the gallery is about 10-12 mm diameter, it runs the full width of the block, its fairly easy to gauge it with a cordless drill if you have a half decent eye.

if you look at either end of the block there is the oil gallery core plugs you can get a feel for where it is looking at them

i straight tapped mine to 1/4bsp, but m14 fits good making them around 12 mm ( as said)
(too slow *happy*)

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
