T500 oil lines

Post by mafd2 »

Anyone have a source for crank case oil lines? Anyone ever make their own? Any subs for factory tubing? Thanks in advance.

There is a thread on here with a member making and supplying new valves for your old lines.

Thanks, couldn't find the thread. Found one where a guy was making new lines using Polaris check valves but didn't work. Wrong psi. Found a source in UK selling the correct valves but I think one of my lines is leaking around the valve. May be split. I have oil on top of my case. Any suggestions anyone?

Check the junction block that splits the line into two lines.
Good chance that its leaking on the two-line side of the block.

Thanks, I can see oil dripping down the line from around the check valve. If it's cracked where the line attaches to the valve can I epoxy it and use a stainless crimp style clamp instead of the collet? Does anyone have a good set of lines to sell? Thanks again. Chris

Is it dripping from a check valve that feeds the crank?
If so, it might be leaking elsewhere & the oil is just running down the line before it drips.

Can a stainless crimp clamp be used instead of the metal collet to secure the hose to the check valve (link below)?
