bt oil drain line for MS6

[ryein7]

Heard it is a super tight fit for the -10 line on the ms6. I was curious if anyone thought this might work instead since its a little smaller?

Im sure it would have to be cut to length, Im just trying prep for my turbo install. Maybe I'm wrong about the oil drain line on the MS6?

Don't bother atp will tell you to reuse the stock oil return line because of the transfer case on our cars only the stock will fit

[speed6pilot]

i used the stock return pipe that bolts to the block and cut the line and used a long hose with the proper fitting to my turbo came out great!

bleh, i had to go custom, 90 degree aluminum heater hose fitting, then stock drain cut in half. connected a silicone heater hose to each end, wrapped it in fire sheath and called it a day.

I think there is a difference between custom and afro-engineered Chinkus lol.

Cut the oem line and weld a -10 fitting on it.

How about people who's oil drain lines somehow got kinked at that bend and need a replacement other than stock? I know there is someone who running -AN fitting and a braided line.....someone please shine some light on this besides saying it cant be done.

keep in mind I have not looked at the oil drain location so Im not sure of the room available. But I was going to use this low profile fitting on the end of the -10 line.

I'm still not sure if that's enough room with the transfer case there

Next post he says it won't work though hmmm that's the closest I've seen though I feel like if you tightened the fuck out of the 90° piece and got rid of all the visible threads it.might work but I'm still not sure someone needs to make one that's a similar to the stock but better quality construction and then sell it to all us speed6 owners! They'd make a fortune. The problem with all these 90 degree pieces is they is they come out from the block then do the 90 not the already coming upwards directly off the block. How thick is the pto right there? I supposed someone could try grinding a lil more space right there on the pto but its risky if its not a thick section.

See I would love to try cutting the threads but that cone on top of the fitting helps to seal the line as oil runs through. I only imagine there would be a nice oil leak without a thread sealent/tape even then I think it would leak....but then again I dunno much.

[ColonR]

Ha ha no your right! Hmmm well if the 90° piece can be threaded ALL THE WAY down then it might work but I know some of those pieces won't thread all the way down even if you use a bench vise and pliers and I wouldn't wanna push it to much in case it snaps

[ryein7]

AN fittings seal with that angle seat, The threads themselves do not do the sealing with those type of fittings.

the stock drain works perfect for stock location turbos. i cant imagine even bothering with anything else. i tried a different line in there and got it to fit but it kinked and my turbo started smoking so i ripped that shit out and went back to stock immediately. no problems since.

Well I need another stocker

I did the same thing MS6COP did (old old ass thread) and cut the pipe, removed accordion part of it, and joined both ends with crankcase ventilation hose, used two small T-bolt clamps and it's working great.

I'll keep monitoring condition of hose since it's just plain rubber with 1 reinforcement of cloth or nylon or something, but i think it should hold up just fine.

This is exactly why, the transfer case is completely in the way. it's even a pain in the ass to just bolt that bottom part of the flange...
