retreat to cave with egg on phase again 👀

Pretty sure no braze or welding on original. it is flared or??? with matching fittings.

other threads on this topic hit on these type details.

you got an idea on where one would consider mounting on the pan... taking into account that if your using it as an Overland/Adventure truck that might see angles which could throw false buzz/light warnings of "low oil level" if the location of sensor is not well thought out.

Yep that is why alarm was suggested over auto kill switch. 20 seconds gives you time to drive to side of road and shut down. Using your below idea also; in addition maybe wire it to the air system buzzer was the suggestions made. This makes safer for folk in traffic behind the truck... yet...

from previous discussions..... based on location of the oil pressure switch...... by the time that switch reads low oil pressure..... your engine is already toast. Oil line of death just pumps the oil out way to fast. Issue also is....... automatic shut off...... while saves your engine...

what parts in that picture are swagelok?? see braided line and steel lines in the pic that look like average braided and steel lines.... so what makes swagelok better?

yes!!! several threads on blown engines that relate this issue to reason behind blown engine

Would be interesting to put a camera on it while driving to see if oil pressure causes a pulsing of the hose

In attached video also see that the line has a manufactured small bend toward the block..... and interestingly...... the breaks described/pictured thus far, tend to be centered between that bend and where it attaches to the Governor... see top pic in this thread.... and watch video to discern...

if you get the inclination..... would be interesting to see results of magnafluxing the line you took off. See earlier post w/video on how one can do that themself.

did you perchance eyeball to see if each leg of the U lined up squarely with their matching union? Did one or the other leg need to be slightly forced into alignment to install the union nuts?

interesting idea..... how you going to apply and see the results on block side of the tube? Underside should be able to use inspection mirror I guess... maybe block side as well? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_FeCPWryvU

IMHO steel braided just trades one problem for another. It solves an vibration issues that may arise 20yrs down the road butttt... as the hose wears internally small chunks / microscopic rubber bits makes its way into the Governor... thus there is your trade of one issue for another. Then...

no not the point of this thread. Just looking at making it easier for folk to identify how concerned they should be now... and what changes they may should make if they replace this piece with an OEM type.

well there is first blow to the .... "not at 3:00=failure theory" lol. will be interesting as we get more input. Are you running rebuild of original engine now? if so.. can you possibly get verified if it was 3:00 pre rebuild or not?

A photo for comparison from another thread. Hard to tell the angle of union. Looks like it may be little above 3:00.... hopefully the owner of this truck that suffered same break in line pops in to fill out survey.... but it is interesting to note.... it broke at the same place...

Since this topic comes up few times a year with killed 3116 engine as result..... would like to collect some data to help everyone determine if they may/may not need to be concerned. This is for EVERYONE w/3116 to report your results please. Include photo if at all possible. Much thanks in...
