Need help with new parts.

[lukeh]

I need to replace the oil cooler in the front fender and one of the oil cooler pipes that runs inside the rocker panel. Should I go with the OEM stuff or are there some other options I should think about? The car is an 88 turbo cab.

Factory lines are fine, there are some nice finned lines but I doubt they make much difference behind the factory rocker panels.

If they motor is modded, you may consider a front cooler in a different valance below the bumper, but you may still want your late style fender cooler in oem w/ fan as well.

If you get a used cooler, be sure to have it ultrasonically cleaned and tested. They can be full of metal if the history is unknown and washing in a parts bin will not get it out no matter how hard you try.

You should be able to clean a used oil line sufficiently though...

If the line just has a small damaged portion, you can repair it w/ a copper splice by brazing it in...

Several people have had good luck with heating up the factory cooler lines and pressurizing with air so that any crushing "pops" out, if that's your problem.

I checked out the Elephant site and sent them an email. I read about their products and it keeps saying for all 911s. I need to know if this stuff will work on a 930. I assume so but want to hear it from them.
