What happens here

The creator discusses a previous setup where the oil feed line rattled around in the motor plate's bulkhead adapter. He made a spacer from aluminum pipe by slicing the end, splitting it, and inserting it into the adapter. This spacer secures the adapter and reduces the size from -16 to -12, preventing rattling.

Goal: Secure and size the oil feed line bulkhead adapter.

Tools and materials

  • Aluminum Pipe — Fabricating the spacer
  • Bulkhead Adapter — Mounting oil feed line
  • Saw — Slicing the aluminum pipe
  • Stop Nut — Securing the adapter and spacer
  • Tools for splitting pipe — Splitting the aluminum pipe

have a good ground I had my oil feed line going through a a bulkhead adapter through my motor plate deal here and you remember how when I put these holes in here I was like oh yeah I'm making it light looks nicer whatever well it turns out is actually serves a practical purpose I can put that in there and then to pull the motor I would just have to take this 16 off the back and not have to touch anything on the pump which makes life easier but this rattled around in here took some aluminum pipe sliced an end off split it open and put it in there to make a bit of a spacer and now this also reduces it from 16 to 12 get this in here [Applause] there we go perfect now it doesn't loot doesn't rattle around I can put the stop nut on the back and it'll be locked down you got to you got to enjoy the little victories because there are so many little defeats that uh they'll just piss you off relentlessly kind of like stabbing your
