guide pin and -AN line Questions

[92talontsibryce]

Ok first off let me start with the guide pin. I guess it fell out at the machine shop or something and dont know where to get another one. I already went to the local auto zone and oreilys but of course they were no help. Does anyone know where I can get this? Here is a picture of what im talking about.

And on to the AN line. My water line to my turbo cracked and am trying to buy the fittings to this line so I dont have to pay $50 on new water lines. The problem is I dont know what AN size of line this is? Can anyone help me? Here is a couple pictures of the line.

im not sure about the guide pin. but that looks like a 6 AN line

Yea i think its a 6 AN too but im not completly sure. As for the guide pin i just looked at some pictures of when i got it back from the machine shop and the pin is there. So the pin is either somewhere in my garage or it fell into my engine. What should I do now rip off the head and look into the oil holes? I really dont want to take the head off but I have to find this guide pin. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Bryce

The part number for the guide pin (known as a cylinder head bushing) is MD132806.

Did you check the cap for the pin? Baby steps, check the easiest place first. I've had lot of them stick in the caps.

 

[92talontsibryce]

yea i checked all the caps and none of them have it stuck in there. I just removed the head turned the motor over and shook it and still nothing. Is there anyway it could have gotton lodged in there? I really dont want to assume it fell onto the floor when it really fell into my motor.

I really don't think it would have fallen into the engine. Usually they stick in either the caps or head unless they are physically removed.

well when i got the head back from the machine shop it was there. And after i installed the head i took a step back and noticed it was missing. So some how it came out and I dont know where it went.

Def looks like a -6AN line to me. Put it next to something like a nickel for a size comparison
