No up and over the top along the back bones, then down between 2&3 carbs. The idea is for the oil to stay in the cooler.
Steve

Cool. Would it have been easier to flip the cooler so the lines enter from above?

That was the plan. Too big and I don't want the lines showing.
Steve

Got my fittings but I now have another problem. The fitting size is for a 3/8" line. Too small for the Z1/KZ's. They have to be 13mm/1/2". My old ones were.




I will have to drill and adapt a #8 A/C barb to barb splice cut in half pressed in so I won't have any restriction at the fittings.


The last thing I need is to restrict the oil going to the engine.
Not a happy camper but I suspected it. There's a Alternative Hose place on the way home. I'll pick one up there.
Steve

Got my hoses run, going to Chaparral for a tire Monday coming back from my daughter's.Alternative Hose is on the way. I'll pick up the fitting then.

I guess I could have gone 3/8" line and fittings but 1/2" is better for oil flow. I didn't think of A/C lines, I might be able to get the sizes I wanted to go to the cooler too.
Steve

Something to think about. The oil galley comes up from the filter, through the pressure switch, then goes to the mains, tranny and up to the head. Restricting the passages going to and from the cooler will restrict the amount of oil going everywhere else. That can't be a good thing.

Hey Steve, now I see what you were talking about on that other oil cooler thread. Do your engine fittings actually have a 3/8" threaded hole? That does seem very small. My oil cooler and engine fittings are 1/2" NPT by 3/8" barbed. I knew I had 3/8 hose and was thinking 3/8 threaded also but they are definitely half inch on the threaded end.

My old ones that were destroyed in the fire were 1/2" barb. The ones I just bought don't have enough meat to drill and tap larger. Can you take pics with a rule to show the sizes? The intakes on the cooler look like 1/2 but the fittings look like 3/8's.
Steve

The inside diameter coming from the oil pump galley is 11.78mm/0.463", not quite 1/2" on the fittings I bought. The threaded part ID is 11.24mm/04.43". It remains to be seen what the oil galley sizes are in the case. I may have to open them up as well. We'll see.
Steve

On my set up, the fittings for the engine adapters and the oil cooler are the same. The maximum OD of the male threads is .527. I assumed that was 1/2" but forgot that NPT sizing is very unique. I think the .527 OD is actually 1/4" NPT. So not sure what size they are technically, but they physically measure just over 1/2". The ID of the female threads is .437". That is at the tip of the threads, the smallest part of the hole.The barbed portion for the hose end measures .375" OD (on the smaller part, not the flare/barb).

Would the galley plug on the RH side of the engine allow a view of the actual oil galley size? I'm not sure if it's the same there?

>5 is 1/2" Yes the oil inspection plug when removed should revile the galley size.
Steve

NPT sizing is very strange....1/2" OD measured is 1/4" NPT
