eke_zetec_RWD Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Other one is the turbo oil return. It's just goes into the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mainstream Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 the thread is the same size as the sump bung, might do that then. i once heard its not a good idea as its a heatsoak and dosnt give true reading, guess would give a rough idea even if that is the case. still would like to know what that bolt is 19mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZford Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Other one is the turbo oil return. It's just goes into the sump. I wonder if that was actually Fords intended purpose. Its super handy for that makes me want to build a turbo pinto now haha. Would also work for alternate dip stick I spose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ul see the older non 205 pintos don't have this hole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
