Re: Oil cooler lines
I just got done dealing with the oil cooler lines. Jerry's Gaskets is a no-brainer......far superior to the original lines, and incredible service! Any questions or issues and they will help you get it s solved. Super easy to change out and has everything you need. The only issue I had was the little bit of oil that naturally spills out....just grab some shop towels and you will be fine.

Re: Oil cooler lines
Placed an order with Jerry today. It looks like there is a back order on the parts. Should be filled in a couple of weeks according to Jerry.

Re: Oil cooler lines
Just went out to my car to review the oil cooler line removal. I have the 1 1/4 wrench to remove the hoses from the engine side. My question is how to remove the upper engine fitting? Not enough clearance to get a wrench around the nut part. I don’t want to strip it while trying to remove it. I know it will take some muscle to get these out. Maybe a thin wall socket and a long breaker bar?
Any info before I start would be helpful. Thanks John 1990 #2331 |

Re: Oil cooler lines
Yep, that is logical. Funny, I used big open ends on removal and install. I wonder why you have clearance issues?

Re: Oil cooler lines
Hey Bill - Not sure if I will have an issue. Just from looking at it the clearance looks really close on the top hardware. I do have large open and wrench’s both 1 1/4 and 1 1/8. I have not started the job yet, waiting for parts from Jerry and they are couple of weeks out.
