Repair oil feed line

[88lebaron]

Hi, When i was removing head to I made mistake of cutting oil feed line (rubber part) in half and was wondering if there was any safe way to fix that or will the oil pressure blow off anything i put in there.

any clamp & hose worth holding hmmmm say 65Psi of Oil pressure would be Okay IMO , Lets see what the rest of TD.com has to say

if you have say 2in at least on both sides of the cut, you could try a brass tube between and strong clamps to mend your indescretion

Get a new one - they are not expensive

Don't chance a 710 leak, it could cause a fire. Replace it.

How much does the oil line usualy cost from dealer?

Just get the braided steel version from one of our venders. It is better than the original and cheaper.

I doubt you can get one from the stealer anymore. If so, they would be very expensive (as always).

If you got the cash, get the braided steel.
If not, pull one at the junk yard.

I've also seen the home repair (aka. new piece of reinforced rubber hose held in place with worm gears) run for thousands of miles.

I wouldn't waste the time on a junkyard one... Too much fooling around and then who knows what crud is in there. I think you did yourself a favor by cutting that line. Go get a new one from one of our vendors.

Just clamp on a braided hose.i use hose clamps on two of mine run for over 100k.Makes it easier to pull turbo also.I use short section of AC hose for the water line also.

And if you have a leak and you have a manual transmission, you can kiss that clutch good bye.

[Screamin4banger]

If its a matter of being a cheap TD'er...
If you go on eBay there's a guy in Windsor ON selling braided oil lines for like $24 shipped anywhere in US or CA.

Thats about as reasonable price as you're gonna find.

I fixed one before with a piece of tubing and a compression fitting. I replaced the complete forward hardline and the rubber hose. Never had a leak and looked good too.
