I used -10 oil lines on my 3.0 914-6 converison. No Press problems but everyone seems to be running. -12 and -16. Did I screw up?
Thanks, |

The problem with the dash 10 lines is the velocity of the oil is greater than the dash 12 and this causes a reduction of cooling in the cooler since the oil is moving along faster. The ID of dash 10 is 0.625 and dash 12 is 0.75 so the velocity will have to be higher in the smaller dia pipe since the oil is just about incompressible (for our purposes) and the oil pump is positive displacement. So the answer is........maybe, if the oil does not cool as much as you like then get bigger lines. I had to do that when I went from a dry summped stroker 4 to a 2L high revving 6 in the race car. Aaron now has the old lines safely tucked away in his black beauty.
