I don’t have the means of welding or half of those tools All you really need is a grinder with a cutoff wheel and a grinder, some sort of measuring device and a buddy with a welder that you can swap a case for work? The metal can be damn near anything as long as it his a curve to it and is large enough And he did say there are kits you can buy out there where you drill a hole and screw stuff on 2 Quote Link to comment
six2ohyea Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Lost my Oil Cap… 🫠 2 Quote Link to comment
six2ohyea Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Could my oil cap have “popped off” because of over heating? Or rather unscrewed? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Being the screw in type I would imagine unscrewed. If it popped off, that may be a whole new set of problems that I couldn't even begin to figure out. Quote Link to comment
six2ohyea Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 That’s what I figured. There was no performance issues while driving ether. Just curious about the oil splattered on the hood. Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hopefully it's as simple as it wasn't tight and there is no issue with the motor.... Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 The rubber o-ring hardens over time and won't hold the cap in place. Get a new o-ring for your new cap. Quote Link to comment
