Oil cap

Does anybody know where I can get those original oil cap for my 89 350? It seems all the aftermarket ones just want to spin around in the threads and never seal.

Re: Oil cap

Does your valve cover have threads or locking tabs for a 1/4 turn cap? There are centerbolt covers for both styles.

If you have the original cap, often they just need a new O-ring.

Dude, I'm so tired of winter, LOL. If it isn't raining it's cold and it seems you never have time to do anything. Can't wait for warmer weather. How's things on your end?

Re: Oil cap

It seems whenever we get slow down to the South everything comes to a standstill, LOL. Plus me working 19 days straight and only off 2 days kind of hinders me from doing a lot

I know it is hilarious watching people not be able to drive in an inch of snow. We get a foot here in 3 hours and you are still expected to show up for work.

Re: Oil cap

I got the number off RockAuto.com so it should be correct.

Born in White Plains, raised in Jersey. I know old man winter, and I moved away from him. I'm about to get a restraining order.
