what size bolt do i need to block off oil lines

[hubz91talontsi]

I am going to temporarily block off my oil cooler, does anyone know the correct size bolt for that. I am trying to stick 2 bolts in the oil filter.

Dont tell me to just run the oil cooler unless you are buying me a new one.

You would have to loop the line(s). Once the thermostat opens all the oil should go through the cooler. If you put bolts in the oil cooler ports on the filter bracket your engine will lose oil pressure and seize.

alright thats good to know, so im better off just switching to a 91 housing for now.

I'm pretty sure they're M16x1.5 I was going to replace the banjos with -AN fittings and that was the size I seem to remember them being.

As for not plugging them off, everyone to there own. I don't think just because you don't have the oil cooler in the fluid circuit, will cause the engine to lose pressure and seize up. You may run a little hotter but it shouldn't lose so much pressure to cause failure.
