Thread: cracked block!

cracked the oil feed on my w11! Any idea's? I'm pulling my hair out

Dill it out and plug it, run a T fitting off your Oil pressure switch and call it a day.

the fitting isn't cracked the block is how would i drill and plug a crack? ill add pics later

Post a pic of the crack on the block where the oil feed line attatches to, then you can know your options. There can be lots of pressure there at high RPM, but it might not leak at idle since idle is roughly 10 Psi, while full redline is closer to 60Psi, which is a lot higher. So I would try and get rid of any crack formation and then plug it off and forget about using i, too risky to loosen it and remove it again in the future, plus weight of the line and vibration might cause it to leak again.
