Wanted: L98 Oil Cooler Pipes.

(1/3) > >>

Vettech:
The L98 option KC4 is a donut style oil cooler fitted between block and original oil filter.

Part of the water circuit is via rubber hose, some I can buy ex US, but a bit around front of engine is metal tube.

If anyone has this in any condition that they dont want or are prepared to loan me so I can get it replicated, it would be very much appreciated.

Please let me know, can pick up, travel or pay post, what ever required.

Last resort will be US Wrecker - of course the postage will be the "nail"......

I did have the pipe you are looking for but I cut it in two to make a new line for my '88. BTW it doesn't go around the front, it goes down behind the fuel lines and across in front of the sump. The original fouls the steering shaft after conversion. Still have the 'tricky' bit that snakes behind the fuel lines if you want a sample. Bad news is it is aluminium which is a bit tricky to bend and a problem to weld. You can make it in copper but that introduces corrosion problems or thin walled steel would be OK as long as you keep up the inhibitor/coolant.
From memory (which is not that good any more) your '87 is a mirror conversion which means the genuine pipe will still need modification. The line you're talking about also returns the heater which is now on the left (with the oil cooler).
To get yourself on the road you could simply eliminate the cooler (they don't work well anyway), put the bigger oil filter on (Z-24) and just run a hose around the front for your heater. Put a small 'T' at the heater core outlet to connect the bleed line.
