Has anyone had to replace the oilfeed pipe from the block to the cylinder head?

Mine is corroded and starting to leak. I have not seen them advertised through the normal Fordson parts suppliers, are the fittings the same as that used for automotive brake pipes?

Hi Chris,

I think that the pipe is 3/16" od and the fittings are the compression type with an olive and not a flare as used in brake lines.

Thanks Gerald,

I'll get hold of some 3/16 OD copper pipe and olives, hopefully the fittings can be reused.

Hi there, I had the same problem with mine. As said above, use some 3/16 brake pipe and brass olives, i also re-used the original nuts, and its been fine since!
