Hey.... i just pulled the motor out of my gsl-se parts car... i was planning on keeping the oil cooler lines because im putting the oil cooler into my 81.... anyhow... i was unable to get the lines off when pulling the motor... the lines were frayed and not in that good of shape so i cut them... will i be able to use any kind of rubber hose and clamp it until i can get a nice braided steel line set from summit?....

If you use any rubber hose and clamps you have will all most certainly blow the hoses off and be a loser.
Any rubber hose is unlikely to be compatible with hot engine oil.
Also a hose clamp isn't designed to withstand 60+psi.

Its not worth losing an engine.

 

my thoughts exactly. i almost made the same mistake (osh for the water lines on behind the toilet) even that one made me laugh to my self just now. anyways dont do it! i still tried to get one found a line at a place that has parts from airplanes fond a line that would freaking break glass 3000psi and the inside diameter was a lil smaller gave me a nice "Airplane Sound" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa. ......go to the yard and pull some or wait and save $$$$

if you ever need oil cooler hoses done, bring your stock ones to hoseman in irwindale and they will replace the lines. appx $60 for a set. no need to buy expensive AN fittings.

 

your here again

 

in and out.

 

wackyracer is right there is also a hoseman in riverside. they made me oil cooler lines for $50 with new fittings.

 

WOW! HOSE MAN's COOL.


WACKYRACER'S always right.

I'll be TUBE STEAK MAN. !

 

eh wacky you put them 4.88 gears in? how do they feel? i have a chance to pick them up for 350 but i dont have the money right now i need to get my car moving first.

 

how r ya. actually, i went ahead and used 81 gsl 3rd member in the RX-3. I will try it out this weekend. Otherwise, here comes a welded 79 open diffy.

still playing a good husband so my wife will say, "Go and buy it."

 

hehehe... i can hear it now.

Wifey - " Mel, why don't you get that."
Wifey - "Will it make your car faster?"
Mel - "Yes"
Wifey - "Then just go buy them!"
Mel - ........................................... oh, okay.
