Anyone know where I can get oil lines that connect direct between the block and 1028 without fittings to adapt? The Trans Dapt oil line kit is half inch at both ends, but the block is smaller. Would like to avoid adaptor fittings. Anyone custom make oil lines for this applocation? Also, do I need a specific size oil line to maintain pressure?

Even the stock lines used adapters, from pipe thread to inverted flare, in the block end. You might check with either Napa or perhaps a farm store like Tractor Supply that makes hydraulic hoses, see if they can make a custom hose for you, but most likely, you're going to end up with some adapters in the system. The stock hosed were 1/4", and you'll need to have a 1/16" restrictor somewhere in the system to keep the pressure and flow rate correct.

Would the 1/16" restriction go on the filter inlet? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 Gas Pumper | | Gas Pumper Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,399 | This subject is covered in detail here: http://devestechnet.com/Home/Project1959235 or http://devestechnet.com/Home/FullFlowOil halfway down. I have included part numbers to make your own lines for this very purpose. Hope this helps! Remember what Bill said.. you need a 1/16 restrictor somewhere in your lines unless you did the full flow modification. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 23 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 23 | | | |
