thank you for the fast replys!! hotline had the idea of using regulated shop air down to 2lbs and applying to dipstick tube and watching for the leak, they also said to make sure it is no more than 2lbs or the front or rear main will blow out /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif that, I have not tried yet. I am sure it is low pressure oil because it is a pretty heavy green trail that comes down from top of the oil cooler and runs down, I also forgot to bring up the sending unit, it is dry and the connector is clean this is also a shuttle bus with only 38,000 miles. Back to the tubes I am wondering if I am just installing them dead wrong. The way I have been doing it is by pushing them into the bore and then tighting the hold down clamp, then the retaining bracket for the tubes to hold them in place. how have you guy's installed them? also trying to find any info on them in the manual is slim to none. thanks again for everyones help i will dig into this tomorrow and update. thanks !!

hello everyone, I am need of help with an oil leak. I have got a 2006 E 450 that is leaking from the remote oil filter oil lines. I have replaced the lines and the housing with no luck. I do have dye in it, and in order for it to leak it must be driven. when it begins to leak it will trail down the oil cooler and down the drivers side head. I noticed when I installed the new lines and the hold down at the housing the lines were not held tight by the upper hold down. the lines will move about half inch back and forth, the lines were not tight until the retaining bracket on the drivers side head was tightened. is that normal? I also had trouble getting the new lines the drivers side is labeled wrong and when we ordered it we kept getting two passenger side lines, we finnaly got the correct one and still have a leak, help!!

We have an 05 that has been sitting outside almost two months waiting for an approval from the customer or ford. It has a cracked block as well. The reason it has been sitting is that the customer has a banks kit on it and ford will not approve an engine for it. This engine also has the star pattern outside of the center of the cup and almost covers the entire face of the piston. the crack is between the #1 and #3 piston on the bottom edge of the block, The customer claims he is going to take ford to court over it. so for now we have $50,000 yard ornament /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
