Jelly Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I need to replace the top oil lines on an 1127 engine. The ones which run from the bottom block to the top head, between the carbs. I'm looking for a Torques setup, like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSXR-Cam-Cover-Oil-Feed-Head-Cooler-Adapter-KIT-AN-6-AN-8-Black-/380728047582 What do I need more? AN6 Hose (obviously) 2x straight AN6 fittings 1x AN6 90 degree bend 1x AN6 45 degree bend Am I missing anything? Quote Link to comment
colinworth79 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 a T peice . The line would come from the cooler then split into 2 to go to each side of the rocker cover. Quote Link to comment

Won't the Tpiece fit to the top cranckcase behind the starter motor,then a line from either side of it to the rocker cover,so you need,hose, 4 hose fittings, Tpiece and the fittings that go onto the rocker cover?

Jelly Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Head cooler indeed might be the next step, but just to be more flexible with fitting (honestly Viz, it's not for the bling') I want to replace the std lines. Just to be clear, in the first link in my topic is a reference to: Suzuki GSXR Cam Cover Oil Feed Adapter In AN-6 (AN6) - Head Cooler TOP x 2 AN -6 (AN6) Male To AN8 Female Tee Adapter Fitting x 1 Suzuki GSXR Engine To Cam Cover Oil Feed Adapter In AN -8 (AN8) - Head Cooler x 1 Quote Link to comment
370steve Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) far as i remember when i got that kit, all you need besides the kit is some hose. scratch that, you might also need the hose ends!!! (im on wrong computer, ) Edited July 20, 2017 by 370steve Quote Link to comment
Markz9 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I Can post a picture of the head cooler fittings I have just installed First buy the Torque kit Plus you will need a straight 1 No AN 8 fitting to the bottom feed, depending how much room under tank 2 No AN 6 straight or 90 deg fittings plus another 2 No straight or 90 deg to the T fitting 1 No AN 8 Straight or 90 deg from the T to the oil cooler and then what ever oil cooler you buy the fittings to connect it ideally 2 no 90 deg AN 8 Mark 1 Quote Link to comment
Jelly Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Great @Markz9, that was just the info I was looking for. Pic would be great Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If it was me...........and it isn't ........ I wouldn't use dash 6 hose! Fairly sure the std hose ID is bigger than -6 equivalent! As these are the only things keeping the head cool, I wouldn't want to restrict oil - if anything flood it with more! 2 Quote Link to comment
370steve Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 take no notice of most in the shot, but you can see all the bits together that you will need in the middle of the hose (take no notice of the large fittings) 1 Quote Link to comment

Holes in cam cover are 10mm. -6an is 3/8" or 9.5mm . 1 Quote Link to comment

davecara Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That Eblag link you posted is the same kit I've got on my 750, ended up with about 150mm of hose left over! Quote Link to comment
SiBag Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Pretty much the same as my setup. I used the torques take offs. But I'm a bit of a goodridge whore, so used goodridge forged 45 and 90 degree fittings and straight connectors. Not that anyone can see them once the carbs are on.. 2 Quote Link to comment

But they sell them without hoses? Well, going to need some more for my fuel pump so I'll put the order together this weekend and we'll see from there... 1 Quote Link to comment
