223 oil tubes
Posted: March 27, 2019, 5:31 pm
Guys, I contribute my engine failure to the oil line on my rocker assembly. I need a new (old) oil return line. It’s the one forward by cylinder #1 with the long nipple and doesn’t need the ring on the base.
Mine is too short to lock my rocker assembly shaft in place.
I called Dennis Carpenters and was told they had 4. I gave info, they stated I’d be charged and it’s shipping. BUT- they don’t have any... zip.. zilch... nada.
No other NOS parts house has it.
Anyone got a junk 223 they can grab those oil lines from?
My oil supply line is fine.(that’s the one by cylinder #6 and has the o ring on bottom).
If I can’t get a used one from you all, i will need to get into a hydraulic shop and see if they can make me a custom one. I’d rather not go that route as it’s expensive.
THANKS,!,
