I was told by 911design that I need to put a spring inside of my 16AN braided steel line that goes from my dry sump to the stock cooler of my 3.2 or it will cost me an engine. They said that the oil line will collapse Causing oil starvation. When I talked to Patrick Motorsports they hadn't heard that before. Does anybody know of anyone doing this or is this really not necessary? Any info. On this topic would be awesome. Many thanks!!!

Some hoses are rated for suction and some are not. I would check for the hose you are running. The springs are not expensive and won't hurt anything if you didn't actually need it......

I've also heard that the feed line to the engine should have a spring. I didn't know that when I built my 914/6 track car, which has a -20 oil feed line, no spring. The feed line has suction, so it could conceivably collapse. I've heard one or two stories about this over the years. It must not be a very common occurrence though.
For clarity, I call the scavenge line the one that takes oil from the engine sump to the cooler/tank. That's a pressurized line and wouldn't need an internal spring since there shouldn't be any risk of that one collapsing. Scott |
