Yes. I will get a couple of bolts turned. Appreciate the time you have taken to offer options.

If yours isn't an oil blower, you could ditch the catch cans and vent straight to atmosphere,


They make them up to 3" in length, made to order though, so expect a wait depending how busy they are.

Inside the head of the bolt there is enough 'meat' at the base of the head to allow them to form a hexagon socket.This allows you tighten the bolt with an allen key. Very neat piece of engineering.

Definitely not a “hand model”.

Not as bad as one old boss I had. His fingers looked like burnt sausages. He repeatedly would weld without gloves. I was not that tough.
