Fernando Mendes Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Originally they were screwed in, repaired ones are normally brazed Last week my mechanic was withdrawing a plastic that was in the place of the tube.I noticed the threads inside the hole.Anyone knows the measure of this?

Fernando Mendes Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Now my mechanic will weld a 1/2" tube in the threaded air pipe connection(1/4" NPT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Why not get a threaded 1/4" pipe nipple cut to length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Fernando, do you have a picture of your application? I've always thought (after Ed informed me) that the cars when into the block like Don's picture and trucks went into the oil pan side?

Most likely that is correct on trucks they do go into the oil pan but if both are 1/4" tapered pipe thread they will work both into the pan and into the block.

I've always thought (after Ed informed me) that the cars when into the block like Don's picture and trucks went into the oil pan side? True for pilot house trucks. I believe the older trucks like mine that still have a rear sump like a car also have a dipstick in the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Mendes Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 My engine is a IND 251 25" head. Why my oil level is visible so close of the oil filler hole(without tube dipstick)? I only put 4,32liters+0,4liters=4,72liters(when still without oil filter) After put oil filter weeks ago put more 0,4liters in oil filter. Total=4,72liters+0,4liters=5,12liters. I knew that the correct capacity of 251 engine oil with the oil filter is 5,7 liters.(6US Qts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relief valve and spring in good condition to prevent draining back into the pan ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Mendes Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Did the oil stay in the filter?? Relief valve and spring in good condition to prevent draining back into the pan ?? Oil stays in the filter.I measured oil level with a ruler to the top of hole and obtained 2" to 2 1/2".I think it is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Mendes Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 My new dipstick(16,5") was welded on a piece of 608 Mercedes dipstick.Following the measure datas.The tube with 10".Now I will try to solve the oil leaks withdrawing some quantity of oil from the pan.I think I put more quantity of oil in it.That why it is leaking in the floor.
