Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!
Got a tech tip for Voyager 12's from your personal experiences, or one complete with pictures and instructions, here's where to post it. You can also ask about tips or procedures here.
Tech Tips is the best. I have a 93 XII and the bolt on the top of the oil pan to the right in the picture on the tech site is dripping oil. I saw this when I went to change the oil. Took the bolt out and it had two copper washers and a hole through the bolt near the head. Placed it back in with washers on either side of a ring that it passes through and it still leaked after I filled up the oil.
Cannot find this in the service manual or several part sites. I have purchased brass washers and some neoprene (still looking for copper) but am wondering what is the proper way to stop the drip. Any ideas on what this bolt is for and suggestions would be appreciated.

It is called a "banjo" bolt and they are used for fluid delivery. The reason for it being copper is that a new copper washer will crush a bit and seal your leak.
Critical that one does not over-torque it when installing. Brass is not as soft as copper, so find the correct part. Gene
