Good morning, hope everybody’s having a decent day so far. The red homebrew ex-turbo car has a front mounted oil cooler and lines that were run up the passenger side of the car. I am considering putting a 3.2L 911 engine in it and would like to, obviously, reuse as much of the existing work That was already done to the car as possible.
I believe using the lines as-is that are picked up forward of the rear passenger wheel it’s just a matter of getting all the hard lines custom fit and routing to/from the thermostat? In other words I’m going to have some custom wines to make but there’s nothing inherently good/bad about routing everything up the passenger side rather than the driver side, right? Thanks! (thanks for being patient with all the questions about this car over the years, I’ve managed to acquire a couple 911 engines and shells and I’m trying to play Legos with getting the build combinations right) |

Thanks for the additional ideas and documentation, very helpful.
This all does raise a question - how long are oil flex lines generally good for? Is there a time period where they time out and should be replaced? |
