question on "AN" fittings on oil cooler lines....?
Hi guys,
non vette issue.
have LT1 in 1996 B-Body (Imp SS)
GM oil cooler lines leaking is the norm.
Can this motor in stock form make TOO much oil pressure and cause these fittings to leak ??
Option A: my idea
8AN to 1 / 2 “ tube fitting -----------part # EAR-165008ERL
8AN hose end --------------part # EAR-800108ERL
3' Stainless Braided hose -8AN part # RUS-632100
8AN hose end --------------part # EAR-800108ERL
6AN to 8AN reducer ---------------part # SUM-220222
6AN to 3 / 8 “ tube fitting ----------part # EAR-165006ERL
quick pic of parts
figured veteran engine builders in here would know way more than me.
thanx

If the Earl's fittings are correctly assembled they will not leak.
