Oil lines 356 oil filter

[Henrik Hagen]

I am searching for oil lines my porsche 356 Mann oil filter. My plan is to fit it to my 1600cc type 1.

I searching for stock looking oil lines but longer so they will fit the filter the way I want.

I need advice please. I dont want to use copper tubing.

The fittings on the Mann housing are quite small. I would remove them and weld or braze AN fittings in their place. Then I would use Aeroquip 100R5 reusable fittings and black 1503 hose. There are probably affordable counterparts where you live. These are all standardized industrial applications. Go to a shop that sells hose and fittings for industrial machines and ask. You can make them any way you want and they will last forever.

Does one fitting have a restriction in it to limit that oil draw?

[Henrik Hagen]

Ok

I will try that...

I was told that the inlet hole should be restricted to 1,5 mm to limit the oil draw. Any opinions about that?

On a 30 hp engine 1,5 mm may be good. On a 1600 with more reserve in the pump, a large hole is no problem. I think the 356 engine has a 2,5 mm hole. I will check and get back to you.

WRT hoses, you can either send the measures to me, and i will make them for you, or contact "Slangespecialisten" in Stevns. - He is somewhat closer to you.

Forgive my ignorance, but does this filter work as a bypass or as part of a full-flow system? I assumed that you would use the filter inline as a full-flow part so my suggestion may be excessive.

I want to use the filter as a partial filter just like porsche.

I have found an industrial 1600 type 1 engine build on AS21 engine block with low hours.
I dont want to disassemble it but give it an old school look and give it an oil filter without drilling the engine block.

Bypass

That changes things. If the existing fittings have an NPT thread then you could just adapt them to AN/JIC fittings. JIC is dimensionally identical to AN but is made to slightly looser tolerances and costs a lot less. The AN-style fittings used in industrial applications is JIC. It works fine for our purposes.

As a bypass I bet that you would be fine with -6 hose (6/16, aka 3/8-inch diameter). If you kept the lines short you could probably use -4 (4/16 or 1/4). What diameter did Porsche specify?

I bet it would look very good if you used an industrial hose with a black jacket.
