    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I need to get a couple of new screws....My uncle took the oil pressure switch off and the old screws cannot be found.

Do anyone know what kind of screw specs they are?

Thank you!

P.S. Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the oil pressure switch is?

They are a common metric thread size...get a few that are 6mm diameter and try them..do not force them.

The purpose of the switch is to let you know when you have low oil pressure which can result in engine failure.

I bought some 6mm screws and....

It went in ok at first...then stopped being easy to turn. Not sure if I should turn any further. I tried a 5mm and it fell thru. There isn't a size between 5mm and 6mm is there?

Maybe I just need to spray some WD40 down there...

Any suggestions, Hap?

Thanks!
