copper oilcooler lines
 

ok so i was walking around home depot and it occured to me is it possible to use copper tubing to run my oil cooler lines??? my dad had tould me that because you gotta torch to weld the piping the oil temps may melt the welds resulting in a huge oil leak. i was considering this as a cheaper & more effective alternative if possible. Why copper tubing over rubbeer hoses?? for me i think
1. something i have never heard of
2. maybe a cheaper alternative
3. something to discuss if its a actual possibility
4. gives me a reason to give some color to my bay!! Lol

Oh..I get it..
you walked by the paint section and inhaled...(They are not 5 legged spiders..they are gloves....)


(just fuggin with ya....Bad idea,don't do it.)

By the time you bought all the copper, made the copper work with the banjo bolts (that would be the REAL PITA) and get it formed, you could've bought replacement lines and had them on in the time it took you to figure out how to put everything together

Unless you have a wealth of copper tubing laying around or can find it cheap

the vibration and movement of the engine would shatter your copper lines...

Ohhhh so it won't melt but actually shatter my lines I don't think that's would be healthy for a car lol well I'm off to see wat other 5 legged spiders I could find there

Copper also isn't good because of galvanic corrosion. It's not good to place copper against a dissimilar metal. Hate to see what the oil would look like with all that crud floating around.
