Rear Main Oil Return Tube
37-39 engines - Rear main bearing cap oil return tube
I think I read somewhere on here that the tube is 1/2" OD and the thread is 32 tpi. Can't find the post any more. Can someone tell me the correct name and size of the thread? Thank you Last edited by FlatheadEric; 10-06-2021 at 07:30 PM. |

Re: Rear Main Oil Return Tube
Here is another link with discussion of the rear main oil drain tube. I will check my main cap again to see what the thread pitch is.

Zeke3 - That is the old post I was vaguely recalling. Based on your comments in the original post, "I checked the rear main cap from my 1937 21 stud engine and the thread is much finer than a 1/4" npt, which has 18 tpi. I think it may be 28 tpi and a 15/32" drill bit fits in the hole, 0.469 in. diameter." I have found what I think is the thread information. I hadn't heard of UNEF until now. |
