Club 80-90 Forums

After a discussion with my garage that fitted my recon i have been advised to chnage the oil. So I got under the van with the large socket to open the sump plug and to my supprise the sump plug was only 12mm or maybe 1/2 inch in size. And not the great bigen that i had before.

Anyway, have any CU engines have such a small sump plug? Or what size should it be?

Cheers folks

The nightmare continues

Well I have just found out that it should be an M14 which has a 22mm spanner size. Well mine is well rounded but is only around 12 or 13mm

Whats going on hear then?

Could it have a sump for a 1600? or is it a 1600 with twin carbs on it?

Cheers

Its gonna go back anyway, I just need to know these things.

The sump plug on a CU has an M14 thread, but the head takes a 13mm spanner. So it's probably the right one, just a bit rounded off. See -

Rightr well that solves that then. I did have a look at the JK one it just looks like the thread is a similar size to the head. Probably a bad piccy then

cheers for your help

13mm is right.

how is the sump nut on your recon motor rounded?

i would be having a word with the reconditioners.
