Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 oil cooler lines, done.... finally

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

It all looks good.  Nice job.

When I did mine, I wanted to get rid of those banjo fittings.

With Keegan's help on sizing, I was able to find a 90 degree fittings with a jam nut that were AN on the output.

OHHHHHHH you rascal Michel - - - - you wanted to UPGRADE your cooler lines.  Was that mentioned?  If so I completely missed it and my apologies.  All this time, had I been quizzed, I thot  your were just trying to 1) find a possible leak; and, 2) pretty up the mess that was there.  Well, those lines look pretty bullet proof.

 

Pictures due when all is said and done . . . but now that you are in there – isn’t the motor mount a bit dirty?  And golly, the brakes . . . concours – a slippery slope.

 

BUT should you go concours route – just know that . .  . no one ever loses in a concours.  Your car always comes out better than when you started.

Onward

Subject: [Ferrari] 308 oil cooler lines, done.... finally

 

My saga with the 2 oil lines that didn’t want to be unscrewed from the oil cooler ended well. I brought the oil cooler to my mechanic and he put it in a vice and just gave a good hit with a steel bar on the 32mm wrench and MAGIC they both moved after one solid hit each. I would never have dared to do that myself.

 

Now, I think I’ll paint it black with high-heat paint.

 

Feeling good!
