Subject:Replacing metal coolant hoses with copper?
From:Phil Menchions
Date:Mon, 2 May 2005 07:48:05 -0230

Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with replacing some
of the metal pipes with copper pipe? My '89 is presently in the garage
waiting on a couple of these. My mechanic replaced the pipe from the
oil cooler to the water pump ( the one that makes two 90 degree turns
).

Now I'm wondering why he just doesn't do the same for some of the
others. Am supposed to order another that goes from the top of the
thermostat housing to the oil cooler. Difficult to see what kind of
angle it makes as it goes down to the cooler but it certainly isn't a
180.
