Re: "95%" oil filter pressure drop across the filter
OK, bringing up an old thread and subject, same engine as the rest of the thread. I now have Aeroquip fittings and hose 1/2" for my filter plumbing. I have slightly enlarged the 3/8" passages in the fittings. This is my first time experience with this and preparing for pushing the hose on the fittings, I goolged the subject and find horror stories about getting the hose on the fitting fully. I have hot water, heat gun, lubricants, vise, gloves, at hand. It sounds like the worst case scenario is getting the hose part-way on and can't get it any further or back off. Ideas to increase my chances of success (except a $250 tool) are much appreciated.

I put the fittings between 2 pieces of wood in the vice,dipped hose end in hot water,lubed inside of hose and pushed it on. No problems.

Assume you are using the Socketless Fittings and hose; here is a link to assembly instructions: http://aeroquipperformance.com/p-240...ocketless-hose

Re: "95%" oil filter pressure drop across the filter
It's more expensive but all I ever use are the standard thread on fittings from Aeroquip or Stratoflex with braided stainless line. Aeroquip got into the automotive market but the standard aircraft stuff was likely too expensive for that market. The aircraft stuff is available from Aircraft Spruce but it ain't cheap at 35 to 75 bucks per fitting on the AE701 type hose in the -6 category.

You know Mike. As a kid I had an early 38 Ford. Still got it. Its refreshed 21-studder has now been running again for the past 6 years. But without a bypass to filter out sand. Not even a full flow to filter out rocks. No filter at all to worry myself about pressure drops. Except of course for the screen on the pump. That can get clogged and cause pressure drop problems. So I do baby it. Change the 5W-20 synblend every year or 2K miles, whichever happens first. Just like recommended in the old days. 8^) Jack E/NJ |

Re: "95%" oil filter pressure drop across the filter
I installed the hose on the fittings this morning. No drama, went much better than expected. A couple of minutes with the heat gun, a little lubriplate, and they went to the collar. One thing that I read gave me confidence: If you need to remove the hose from the fitting, use a soldering iron with a spade tip to cut down the length of the fitting. Removes the hose without damaging the fitting.
