They were crushed in jack point fail.

There are threads here detailing how to "un-crush" the pipes using compressed air and a torch. Or just buy new replacements from Elephant.

Most all the AC lines are rubber.

Is it safe to assume the external pump isn’t working with crushed pipes and all?

I’m sorry….only one pump in these cars right? The pelican parts rep said they have two oil cooling systems- internal and external. I assumed the external has its own pump.

Those oil lines are for the external oil cooler mounted on the right wheel well. When the thermostat in front of the right rear wheel opens, it sends oil up to the forward cooler.

Ahh thank you. I ordered replacement oil lines. I’m hoping oil flows once they’re attached. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
