Oil cap locking pins
Posted: Tue May 28, 2019 3:45 pm
All,
I have a really nice cam cover for my TC that I would like to use, but it has a problem... it was used for racing in the past and the pins that engaged the tabs on the oil cap to lock it in position were drilled out at some point so that a special cap could be mounted via screws through the top and used in conjunction with a dry sump system (see attached photo).
Any ideas on how this can be corrected? I have a cam cover that has the pins on it that I can reference. I believe that they are original, and they almost look like rivets that were ground flush on the outside. It seems that the two main design constraints here are that 1) it doesn't leak oil and 2) won't break and drop bits inside the valvetrain
I just repainted the one with no pins and it would be nice if all that effort weren't for naught
