Oil Cooler Lines Requirements?
Hello i just bought remanufactured oil cooler lines. They are perfect looking and seem to not leak oil anywhere whatsoever im sop lucky i got these babies off of ebay for liek 55 bucks. Anyways the copper fittings are in ok conditon but i herad i need new ones? where can i find them? also how many are there suppose to be? and are they all the same size? i only have 4 the one that came in the side where the lines conect to the oil cooler. So beside sthis new cooper fitigns which i hope u gusy help me find, what else do i need to connect the oil cooler lines? do they require a special torque? Also im thinking o fpainting the metal part of teh oil cooler lines should i just sand it and painted with a spray paint taht resits 500 degress i saw it in walmart for liek 6bucks a can?? should i use a primer or what?P.S. can u gusy drop me awebsite where tey might teach me how to connect it? i don't want to crack my oil cooler. Also should i go ahead an chnage them now? im the same guy who posted the thread on my cooalnt going to the container instea dof teh engine. the car is losing oil not a lot but just a bit i thought maybe i should just cahnge it now an dthen tale them of when i do my rebuilt ( 3 months from now )

The replacement of the Oil Cooler Lines are plug and play...I wouldn't be to particular on replacing the copper fittings. I mean, how often are they removed? If they are In adequate shape, go for It. The required ft-lb:
Oil Cooler Inlet Hose to Front Cover 33-40
Oil Cooler Inlet Hose to Oil Cooler 40-51
Oil Cooler Oulet Hose to Oil Cooler 40-51
Oil Cooler Oulet Hose to Rear Housing 40-58
Oil Cooler Inlet Hose to Front Cover 33-40
Oil Cooler Inlet Hose to Oil Cooler 40-51
Oil Cooler Oulet Hose to Oil Cooler 40-51
Oil Cooler Oulet Hose to Rear Housing 40-58
