420A ss braided oil return line

[selmerguy]

just got mine today and it installed easy. much better then 5/8 heater hose. looks clean and cost me 20 bucks shipped. i have seen many posts in here about this and the costs have been no less then 50 dollars so here is a link and i will try to take pics as soon as i can figure out how to make them smaller.

That reaches easily from your turbo to the oilpan?

oh yeah with a little extra if i wanted it. if you go to ebay and search 'braided hose' this stuff is there all the time and sometimes it is cheap.

if you want to get the fittings the 10 an is 5/8 tube. from my turbo drain flange it is 1/2 npt to 5/8 tube. good luck

I find that when I make my own SS braided lines, It too much hassle, especially for a measly oil drain line that rely's on gravity to drain back into the pan. Now sure, w/ a fuel supply or return line, its worth it to make the SS braided line, but not the drain. Sure it looks good and if it works flawlessly for $20 then great news, especially if its pre-made.

But do you know how easy it is for me to simply replace my drain line every time I pull my turbo? Its so hard to fit a big ol wrench down there that I just cut my drain line in half and then cut the rest off and simply push on a new peice of 5/8 hydraulic or Earls -10 pushlock line, whichever I have laying around. I have the -10 fittings, and this for me is cheap, and easy every time.

Did it melt a line before?

what fittings?

 

[selmerguy]

never melted but it got soft.

as for the fittings. you will need tube/an fittings from the turbo and on the oil pan. for me my drain side of the turbo is 1/2 npt. and i welded a 3/8 bung on the oil pan. so i needed to convert those to 5/8 male tube fittings. get it??? good
