I believe Patrick's sells them as well, may not have that rubber hose transition. You are talking about the line that runs around the timing cover and into the oil filter, and the one that returns the oil from the filter to the oil pan at the distributor, right?
Another thing to consider is to convert the engine to full flow filtration... if you already got the oil pan off.
The way your engine works now, "dirty" oil is pumped through your oil pump to the main oil galley. From there it is distributed to the main and rod bearings, and everything else that needs oil. It T's off the front of the block to pick up the rockers, and the oil filter. "Dirty" oil enters the filter and is returned "clean" to mix back with the "dirty" oil in the pan.
The conversion would take oil from the pump directly into a filter and then send it through the oil galley. Cleaner oil hitting your bearings, crank ect means less engine wear.
Do a search as there are some great articles with pictures out there. | | |
