The aluminum oil lines from the nose oil cooler have been in for a while. But I couldn’t install the flex lines to the engine because I needed to install the sandwich plate on the engine which provides the inlet and outlet for the oil to the secondary (nose) cooler.<\/p>\n

So I drained the oil, removed the filter and installed the sandwich plate.<\/p>\n

Then I got the 1\/2″ braided, stainless steel flex lines and cut them to length. We figured that straight fittings were not going to provide good routing for the oil lines so I bought four 45-degree fittings. I installed one on each flex line, slide the firesleeve over the line and then installed the fittings on the other ends. I finished up by clamping the firesleeve to the fittings.<\/p>\n

At Malcolm’s insistence, I purchased 4 “Del Seals”. These are little washer than go inside flare fittings. They insure a good seal between aluminum and steel fittings. So I then attached the oil lines to the firewall fitting.<\/p>\n

Then the new (shorter) oil filter was installed.<\/p>\n
