Oil Return Question (yes I read the FAQ)
 

OK, I got a question. What should I do for an oil return on my 14b? It looks like there was a flange that bolted to it, but unlike t3 flanges I can't find one. It's physically impossible for me to get to a boneyard anytime soon, so any help would be cool. Also, what size AN line do you all suggest for my return/feed lines?

yeah get some 1/4 steel plate. drill some holes and thread the middle one with a NPT tap.

damn, you should have posted this last week.. I just had one end of that pipe chopped off to have it welded to my pan.. I think they are the same flanges on both ends. :(

Good point. I'll just have to get some 3/8" or 1/2" Steel bar and start drilling and tapping. What size line thought? Any suggestions?

I've been using that heater hose stuff, and no problems yet. I've taken 600 mile trips in the rex so far.. no leaks, no breaks, no problems.. you know what I mean?

stock 14b oil return hard line is 5/8" get atleast that or bigger ;)

Re:Oil Return Question (yes I read the FAQ)
 

yeah go big

u can even just weld a metal 1" tube onto the return part to man instead of buggering around with threads

then just clamp on a rubber hose.

How is the oil return 5/8" the fitting is 12mm (~3/8"), you must be thinking of something else.

Nope sorry, I have the oil return flange in front of me with a tape measure, and unless 10/16" doesn't equal 5/8", YOU must be talking about something else, like the coolant line which IS 3/8"

Wanna picture?
