Perrin Oil Cooler - Mocal Plate Spacer Bolt - Damn Bolt
Does anyone have a good resource on a 27mm socket that will actually fully fit around the spacer bolt that holds the Mocal thermo plate down with the oil cooler spacer?
Every time I have to unhook the oil cooler, I have to sacrifice a bolt because I cannot find a 27mm socket that will fit around the whole bolt. Anyone else have this problem? Here's a pic of the plate and bolts for reference:

Harbor Freight sells a deep impact socket set that goes, I think, to 32mm. Check and confirm the 27 is in the set. I suspect it is.

I did check harbor freight - the depth isn't the issue - it's the room around the sides of the of the bolt where i'd need a thinner than average socket to fit. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Because the galley prevents you from sliding the socket over the bolt? Google this specifically. "Thin Wall Deep Socket" Hope this helps. https://www.google.com/search?q=27+m...hrome&ie=UTF-8 |

Hmm - I did google thin wall sockets, but it wasn't any thinner than my current 27mm. Maybe it's because it's a 12 point, where 6 points are thinner...

I took a 27mm socket to a local machine shop and asked them to thin out the wall on a lathe. Really quick/cheap/simple. I think I paid ~$10.

as a last ditch effort I have chucked up a socket in a drill (if socket is too big or drill to small, us an extension) and used a bench grinder to thin out the wall by running the drill to make the grinding even.
(chucking the socket in a lathe and using a tool post grinder is the right way.) Last edited by ls1ac; 11-21-2017 at 09:40 PM. Reason: spelling |

a couple of things to consider:
do it slowly to not overheat and loose the temper. do it at an angle to save as much steel as you can and still get into the casting. and finally, grind or belt sand the end of the socket to remove the easy start taper, you want as much engagement as possible. |

As you grind the workpiece, dip it in water often to keep it cool. Blue means it got too hot. First remove the easy start taper. Then chamfer for clearance. Thanks, ls1ac! Quote:
It doesn't need to be much more than hand tightened. Consider it similar to tightening the oil filter itself. As the oil filter is tightened, it adds to the compressive force of the adapter gasket.
