Oil lines

[jchris]

Hey all, I am installing my back dated oil lines tomorrow in conjunction with the ssi's I finally bought. I managed, some how, to get the lines off the thermostat and engine case with out buggering up the threads. My question now is, is there anything I should be careful with during the install? Do I need to worry about ruining the case? Are there any tricks to help keep these connections oil tight? The engine is a stock 83 3.0 liter.

Any input is appreciated!

*Don't break the exhaust studs removing the old HE, if you haven't don that yet.

*A little anti seize on the oil lines threads, but clean on the sealing surface, no problem getting them oil tight.

Thanks Magnus! The exchangers were the easy part. I replaced the originals a few years back and anti-seized the studs liberally!

Did my oil lines this week. Did you cut the nuts off?

Be prepared to have to bend the new under trans. oil line to fit if it was sourced from Pelican.
I ended up with this exact problem when I did mine.
