How can I tell what length insert to use on an oil pan repair...the bole size is 12X1.5X18mm long...would I need an 18MM insert or slightly longer one

To determine the length of an insert needed for a drain pan, measure the lip of the pan. The insert has to stay within the metal of the lip of the drain pan. MTB

i would say get the shorter one like the 16mm. i think they come in 9 12 16 and 24. The idea here is that the driver has to go through the entire insert so that it will expand and embbed properly. if you already bought the kit, you can refer to the instruction set for better clarity and you can always buy additional inserts without buying the entire kit. Hope this helps goodluck.

I bought 2 of them, the one I have in use is working great (for over a year now) My Crock is almost 1/2" thick & the stem of the valve had plenty of length. The Diameter of the threaded part is 3/4" & the length of the threaded part is 1" (although the last 1/16" is not threaded so one might say you have 11/16" to work with). I'm happy with my valves (one of them is just a back-up, because the cost was not much more & I was already having to pay for shipping). You might want to use just a little vaseline to lube the gasket, but maybe that was a waist on my part. Best to you. Adios.

The advert states, "No tools needed.", but I use an adjustable wrench or pliers for the last little turn - barely more than hand tightening. You are just exchanging the oil pan caps. About half the time, I can't remove the ShureDrain cap and use pliers.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

I am trying to learn as much about the BOSCH before buying. What is the diameter of the bowl at the top and bottom? I have a copper insert that might work if the bowl is large enough.

Andrew- I used this set all last summer with no problems! I would like to know if someone sold a replacement handle also. I feel that this handle will last as long as the pans. The hook you see that hooks into pans is 15 gauge (.072 inches) as is the spring loaded strap below it that locks it to the pans. Once it's locked it wont come out. without pulling the button back-hope this helps

Mr. Fenels, the dash size, each dash is the size of o-ring set of the old o-ring to dash size or the width of o-ring grove which the o-ring fits into. I don't know why they just don't say this size (in inches) fits this size ring ?? The set I got is in "Inches". I try to get the old o-ring off and size it with the new one then just slip the new one on. I have used several of these O-rings since got the kit, plus have used some as stops/holders on rods I like to keep in place, they can be used for many other little jobs besides what they were intended for. They seem to be high quality rings. Hope this will help you. Best regards, Charles

There are two bolt holes on the side of he engine opposite the crankshaft end. On the crankshaft end, there are two elongated ports to accommodate the possibility that there might be differences in distance between the mounting bole holes. Not sure of dimensions. I returned the engine I purchased due to damage it received in shipment. Therefore, my knowledge is very limited. Because of the damage, I never put oil or gasoline in the engine out of concern that it might have been damaged internally when it was damaged. I expect that it should give good service.

The 2" is an approximation. All vehicles are different. Try marking where the tube stops and compare it with the length of the dip stick. The dip stick may be closer than 2" from the oil pan.

Should work well for you. See my review from an earlier purchase. I am on my second oil change with this product. The only thing that might be better in some respects are some of the new "AA" series LM oils.

I have installed several of these in both cast aluminum and steel drain pans. There is a term called "snug" which applies. Tighten it firmly, but not too tight. The worst that will happen if it is not tight enough is a leak. Then you tighten it just a hair more. If you overtighten it, you could strip something - although not likely. The supplied washer works fine. I have never had a leak! Enjoy the valve. It makes oil changes a breeze.

I ordered a stainless steel 19mm x 72" rod from a company online. Don't remember the name, I just Googled until I found a go price and delivery time. Use stainless steel if you can. My friend has a similar setup and we originally built his with steel, a 1"x72" rod. He has to keep the rod oiled up with cooking or olive oil.

I don't have to proper equipment to Measure but it's about 3/4-1/8-1/16 and then oil immersion. Did you try asking the manufacturer?

I use my 11" Dutch oven pan. Perfect size. Be sure to spray the dough holder with cooking spray ! This is a great tool. My very first batch of spaetzle turned out just right.

Christopher, I hade the same problem until, I cleaned the oil of the insert and tapped it in using a block of wood and hammer and it stayed. I have been using it ever since with no problem. I hope this helps. Khalid
