Hello Guys,
Went to replace the oil hose that runs from the manifold to the crankcase, and the nipple at the bottom of the manifold slid right out of the block with the hose. I'm ordering a new nipple, but was wondering what is supposed to hold it in place? Does it just seat in the block with friction or do I need to put some thing on it to hold it in place? I can put the old nipple back in, but it would just slip out again. I can feel along the tubing of the nipple that there may have been a flange of some sort that wore down. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -Jeff.
