Subject:Sourcing non-standard hollow crush washer for oil drain plug
From:tabe johnson
Date:Tue, 28 Sep 2004 14:39:02 -0400

Hi All,

My oil drain plug was replaced with a 5/8" bolt by the PO.  If I use a regular
copper washer, I get a slow leak at the drain bolt.  I want to use a hollow crush
washer (like on a spark plug) or a gasket or o-ring or something.  Anyone have clever
ideas on

- how to how to seal the leak (what to use?)
- where to get 0.650" ID X ~0.865 OD hollow crush washers?
- would an o-ring work?
