CRUSHED Oil Line Repair Goes From Easy to Difficult Real Fast - Porsche 911

One of the most difficult repairs on a Porsche 911 is to removed dents from a crushed oil line. Many 911's have dented oil lines because they run so close to the jacking points. If left alone, it could mean an overheated engine or even worse a major oil leak next to your tires.
Just getting the oil line off the thermostat was hard enough, then I had to search for a hard to find tap, and then stretch out the damaged lines.

Once again Tom, you made it look easy for all. 80-90psi is the number I have been using . The dents start to move at about, IIRC, 700-800 degrees , you will see the line just gets an orange hue to it . Turn the lights down in the shop and you can see the orange color appear . Getting the Nuts off was fantastic as well , lots of detail of how to make it successful . Thank you Tom for all of your efforts Ian ICARP

That ahh feeling when the nut gets loose👌🏻. I wouldn’t have thought that it would have been possible to unkink those hose but you did it. Again I learn new ways to use tools or make your own. That car is gonna look fire with those painted bumpers! Thanks

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

I was very close to cutting that nut off. Looking forward to Gettysburg ng those bumpers on. They are catching some sun rays today to cure the clear even faster!

Part looks like copper. Need a vid on your painting the bumpers. Prep, primer and gloss coat. Brand of spray gun, pressure, tip size. Thanks enjoy your vids.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

I didn't do a video on the rear bumper because it was exactly the same process as the front. I did make a video on that one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LHUrHnftpAU.html I don't remember if I talked about this gun in this video. It's a Warwick 904HE, 1.4 tip, pressure depends on material. For example I use 29psi for clear. Less for base. Thanks for watching!

@dra911 2 года назад

Nicely done! I always wanted to try this after reading about it on the Pelican Parts forum. Fortunately my lines were not that badly crushed, so I just stripped and repainted them. I did have to cut the nuts on the side connecting to the cooler though - too much rust and they just wouldn't budge no matter what... Also, nice to have a local store that still stocks parts & tools like that. I'd have to be ordering over the Internet where I live...

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

I'm lucky to have lots of car shops near me. Maybe I can do a RU-vid tour someday.

@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714 2 года назад

@vin9114 2 года назад

Great job. Mine were crushed completely closed 😥 So I elected to get the finned oil lines from Elephant racing. Both lines are just under $1000. But, less money than stock lines. I ordered them through Pelican and used my 10% PCA discount. All in for $800 and change. The lines were excellent quality and fit with just a little tweaking.....just a thought, why couldn't you just cut out the damaged sections and solder in new ones. If it works for the plumbing in your house then why not oil ???....

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

The elephant lines are very nice and not absurdly priced and they come with bling too. Plan B was to cut and splice😂 The factory ends are brazed on much like house plumbing. Solder is a little too soft for vibration, but I see no problem with the correct brazing rod.

I have done many sets with just map pass and 150 psi pressure. Look almost perfect just using the map pass.

@jimmydunham4013 2 года назад

Great instructions Tom! I have to do the same so will give it a go with 100 psi and my torches. By the way , I used your technique on the rocker flange to pull it down (Also gets crushed) and it worked great. Keep those videos coming!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Awesome, glad someone's finds useful info these vids 👍

@jimmydunham4013 2 года назад

Just did this procedure today and it was remarkable! Oxy/ace torch with 90-100 psi in the line; careful to hold the heat around and back and forth over the crushed area and it pops right up. I think it needs a second round once I get it cleaned up. Saves a bundle. Thanks again for the real world useable tip.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Awesome! So glad this worked for you too!

@andrewavant8471 2 года назад

Really have benefitted from your build. I'm 3 years into a complete build on my '82 911 and just this week i've been struggling with stuck nuts and crushed oil lines. What are the odds you show up with solutions... again! Two questions, where did you find hardware for pressurizing lines and how do you plan to service thermostat without destroying it? I've tried a large washer held in vice grips with heat applied to unscrew housing with no luck....thanks for some of the best educational and entertaining videos on RU-vid

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew. Too kind! There's a race shop 10 minutes from me, Mesa Hose. They have everything and can make Porsche oil hoses too. Stay tuned for that. Threads are M30x1.5 and he had to cap it with two fittings. One end is JIC. Check a local hydraulic hose supplier. I spent just shy of $40 on these. Let me know if you want to borrow them. As for the thermostat, I'll probably weld some kind of special tool and clamp on it while turning. See endless content, right!!!

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

I'll send them out Andrew! I deleted your comment with your address in it, but I have copied it down. Tom

@Nowherenotime 2 года назад

Reassemble with copper never seize . That valve is called a Shrader Valve (Bicycle Valve) My fix would be to run lines using braided hose and convert to AN fittings . LineX coating would do well and look good

@chash7335 2 года назад

I would not use copper anti-seize on aluminum. Use aluminum anti-seize. Braided hose with an ID of the tubing will be quite large in diameter, and adapting AN fittings to the thermostat housing difficult.

@Nowherenotime 2 года назад

Dissimaler metals Copper offers more suprestion of oxidation and metal transfer durring tightening. Aluminum anti seize tends to clump in the thread lands as you tighten. Many more reasons not to use a Aluminum based product.

@chash7335 2 года назад

@@NowherenotimeThe fittings are aluminum or steel, not copper. Using copper anti-seize introduces dissimilar metals.

@michaelgoni 2 года назад

Hello Tom, where did you source the cap and adapter?

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Mesa Hose. They are a small race shop in Costa Mesa, can. Want to borrow mine?

@krisdecreton4243 2 года назад

Instead of painting, why not try polishing them and turn them into a feature.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 года назад

Not a bad idea. Porsche should have polished them or painted them bright red so guys don't crush them.
