O-ring lower oil cooler line at radiator
« on: July 25 2021, 04:38:31 PM »
Is it possible to get just the O-ring for the lower high pressure oil cooler line on the radiator side of the hose?

I'm too old.  I thought that was a flared connection.  Looking at the diagrams, I don't see the o-ring and I don't see one on g body parts or highway stars

It does look like there are a couple in the hose kit from Highway Stars so I guess there is

this looks like the ones that go into the oil cooler adapter side of the hose according to tb.com  Oil line o-ring for the oil lines where they go into the adapter on the front cover: M83248-1-905

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Yes it has 0-rings.  Saginaw fittings with 0-rings. It's been a long time but I think its the same size as the fuel injector uses'

I must be crazy :icon_eyes:. I don't see any o-rings in that pic but pics are deceiving. I wish it was a fuel injector o-ring. I can get those at advance auto.

What happened was I replaced the radiator with a cold case and now the bottom hose leaks a tad but not dripping. I could have sworn I saw o-rings on it.

Can anyone verify that the o-ring is the same as the fuel injector?
heres the fuel injector o-ring spec...

Steve not sure if these are correct or not but I found an aerospace company that sells them.

You can get a 0-ring assortment for $10 from Harbor Freight or Amazon and have plenty of extras for future projects. Or take the hose off and bring it to a auto parts store that make hoses up and I'm sure they will have them.
