Do you really need an Vito's oil block kit?

[Blasterdude27]

Do I really need an Vito's oil block kit? All it is, is a gasket and some screws. I don’t want to waste $30 bucks plus $20 dollars in shipping.
Any help is appreciated

i would get one if your goining to unhook the pump, it removes the internal shaft so its not still turning and the gasket will keep water and crap out if it would happen to get in the cover! and you want have the pump just chillin in there!

well, if they made them, why can't you?? it's not a complicated part.... 50 cents worth of aluminum, 50 cents wort of gasket material and 20 minutes in the garage.

Exactly... $50 just doesn't seen worth it when I can do it for almost free.

i baught one, but ive just unhooked everything before on other blasters. just make sure you plug the oil hole on the carb, if you leave it unplugged it will suck air and make you run lean, a nother tip is if you have to order from vitos have your dealer do it, that way you dont have to pay shipping

i have my oil pump out, gears and all, im gonna use the pump for a template to trace onto 1/4 inch aluminum, and gasket material, i may have to shorten the bolts though, i screwed them in by hand, and they seem to be bottoming out before they get tight, make sure to lock-tite them also

where are you looking at a vitos kit that has $20.00 shipping

You can just unhook it and put hot glue in the end of the pump lines and put a short line with hot glue on one end on the carb where the oil pump hooked up. You'll be fine.

i made my own blockoff plate, very simple, just make sure u remove the pump and the plastic gear

all you gota do is remove the plastic gear and plug the hoses and inlet on the carb and remove your oil tank.

yeah its the same thing as the parking brake block off lol....
I made mine for free, I took the cap off of a starter motor for a lawnmower and it was the right shape and size....i just spary painted it and bolted it on

 

[Unstock240]

I just had a chunk of aluminum traced the bottom of the pump and cut it out with a dremel. I used the original screws, and bought some high tack gasket stuff.

Here at BF, we like to improvise.

lol yeah make ur own unless you dont have access to the tools and materails then i would suggest just spending the moldy money bro!

shipping is always expensive outside of the lower 48 states. I wish it was cheaper as well. I've lost a lot of money in the past assuming it would only cost 5.00 dollars to ship.


I'd go with the kit. Do it right the first time and you wont be wrenching later.
