Oil Cooler Lines
Anyone repairing the hydraulic crimps on the oil line coolers. Long story short, I purchased a 14K mile car that has been driven. Lots of little stuff to make it the driver it needs to be. I like keeping most stuff on the car ZR-1 or hipo. I have owned two previous Z and never had any issues with these lines. I see that the GM line is discontinued and just curious to see if anyone repairing the lines. I see Jerry has replacement lines but I would prefer stock (or stock appearing) for this repair. Any help appreciated! Thanks

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
In industry flex hoses are generally considered to age limited. Our cars are now pushing 30+ years. Given that more and more oil cooler line failures are to be expected. The OEM lines were not the best quality available at the time. Therefore I would stay away from any used or NOS lines at this point. Suggest trying a local hydraulic shop to see if they can reproduce a set of new lines that appear like OEMs.

Re: Oil Cooler Lines
I have what I believe to be OEM or the Gm replacement lines that aren't leaking yet..
