Freightrain Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The original line was a very heavy hydraulic line with crimp ends. Can I use std braided line? Can't really see a reason not to but I figure I would ask. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

thomastractorsvc Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I would use either style assuming both were rated for oil, that would be my only concern.

BGarofalo Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 As long as its oil rated and can tolerate the heat. Make sure your inner diameter is the same or larger. Also the line has to be downhill with no major bends to restrict oil flow out of the turbo. I've seen more than a few turbos lose the oil seal due to a poor drain line.

Freightrain Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Yes it has 1" drain line. That is getting replaced also. The feed line is about #8? 1/2" ID.
