Re: Oil fill pipe on driver side of the engine

G'day all, The condition is usually caused by trying to remove the breather using a screwing motion instead of lifting the cap off. I usually lightly "tin' the engine end of the pipe with solder. This increases the diameter of the filler and provides the required interference fit into the block. I would definitely not use a product such as J B Weld or silicone sealant, which could fragment and enter the oiling system. Best regards Peter Toet
