oilfilter adapter lines

[bezerk]

I ordered a new oilline that goes from the adapter on the block to the filterhousing in front of the engine.
my old ones had a small area drilled out around the tubes that slide into both of the adapters (the place were the O-ring sits)
my new ones still has the tubes, but is not drilled out around these tubes.
so there is basicly no place to put in the o-rings?
i ordered this part with my VIN, and wonder if i can use these lines??

Thanks

That is the way the lines come now. It's an updated design. Instead of an O-ring you use a seal similar to a drain plug gasket. They are a bit easier to work with, no O-ring to fumble with.

The seals are availble from the General, just ask for the new style seal that goes with the new line part#

How come you didnt made flex hoses like the ones Waller sells ? Its a lot better. You just need to drill and make threads on the oil filter adapter

Re: oilfilter adapter lines

somebody must have the answer to this!

Re: oilfilter adapter lines

Okay, I just checked with parts, here are the numbers

Old style factory o-ring type 15564870, these are the style that fit in a groove inside the block at the end of the line.

New style washer type 15701719, the fit around the nipple on the block, used without a groove in the block( a smooth faced block)

I hope those descriptions make sense. If it's any consulation either seal are around a dollar a piece so it's not a big waste to order both styles.
