Cam Tower Line - 3.2 left side

I have this replacement left side cam tower oil line, but the middle connector is way off (about an inch)... Is this how they are? I don't like to 'force' things because I tend to break things when I try...




Try to fit this???

That just doesn't look right, can you compare to another known correct one? Where may I ask did you get them?

BTW, when I did a recent PPI, wrench stated I had Cam Tower Leaks at #'s 5 & 6. Do you think they were referring to this type of lines?

Can you attempt to 'fit' without getting it dirty. It does look weird, but its hard to tell if they are the same length or not. You can bend the middle line a little. When I took mine off, I was caeful not to bend them, but I had a hard time getting (I believe) getting the left one back on. I tweaked it slightly, but made sure not to crimp the thin line.

What is the part# on that line? I have a new left side here somewhere. I will see if I can find it and see if it looks like the one you are showing. Tony.

Draco, I go these from perf. products about 3 yrs ago, maybe that's where I went wrong..

Slodave, I don't think I can try fitting without the part getting marked up. The line to the center connector can 'maybe' be bent to match the new location, but I would have to remove the factory plug wire holder to make it work... but then again, I don't want to 'pinch' the line or break it....

(edit) The overall length looks good, it's just the middle connector. It will also sit closer to the engine than the original...

3.2Cab, the part number is: 930-107-347-05-M20

I went ahead and ordered a new one from our host... we'll see how it looks...
