Help with part code for oil feed pipe

greyhair · Mar 27, 2015

Went to get a few bits today including seals for the oil cooler pipes that fit to the right hand side of the radiator
I was given 2 small o rings, but looking at it I can not see them working
The issue I have is that the nut screws on the thread no problem, but when tight the pipe just rattles around

There has to be a seal to stop it doing this
any help would be much appreciated

I think there are two types of oil pipe / radiator connections. When I changed mine (with the small seals) the pipe union was stepped and the seal sat on the end on the union. My pipes look different from yours but the radiator side looks the same. I think you may have the wrong radiator, or at least the wrong adaptors in it.
