Oil cooler fittings-opinions please
tul214 - 12/11/09 at 04:23 PM

Interested in hearing the pros/cons between the following 3 options;

1, push on hose and jubilee clips
2, fir tree fittings and aeroquip hose
3, swaged hose/fittings.

Thanks,

Mark

I had firtree and clips on mine and the hose popped off at speed, now building a new engine and have full screw on fittings all round, just in case

Number 3 for sure.

ONLY no 3
my son nearly lost his skyline engine because he jubilee cliped the pipes on his oil cooler the ends had fir tree ends
