I'm doing this now and have noticed that the new bolts - the holes are smaller than the ones coming out.

It almost looks like the hole could flow 1/2 as much (looking at the area of the hole, not the diameter). Anyone else noticed this?

I'm not doubting that they aren't an improvement - just curious.

 

Nothing wrong IMO with the hole being smaller; with all else being the same, that means the bolts will "squirt" more. Just like putting your thumb over a hose will cause the water to go further and with more force.

 

Was looking into this improvement for my ap1 can anyone rehost the pics becasue they are dead and not working. Pictures = 1000 words :-)

How important would you say this banjo bolt update is?.. I have a 2001 engine (bought used), but I'm not sure if the banjo bolts are changed or not. The engine has run just about 60 000 miles now.

 

Do you drive aggressively or ever track? Then how much cash do you have burning a hole in you pocket for a rebuild?

 

Did the upgrade, engine serial number 1023402 had the old jet style bolts.

 

pics are dead in this thread any body have them backed up ?

 

I have no idea what a banjo bolt looks like.

 

Does anyone have the part number for the new bolts? Or will I get the ones with 4 wholes anyway if I order at Honda?
