Oil Tube to block - parts sequence help needed

[smcdermott326]

Can someone advise the exact order of placement/relationship for the Oil feed tube parts from the bottom of the intake to the block?
The Real OEM diagram doesn't show the position of each piece:
09O-RING211151714390

10FLAT WASHER211151280937

11COMPRESSION SPRING111151265346

12PIPE111151280938

Thanks,
Steve

That's 2 flat washers and 2 o-rings

springloaded tube of death?

just sell the car.

[smcdermott326]

yes the tube of death. It's leaking enough that I want to redo it but I am not certain it is currently installed correctly since it has been uninstalled/reinstalled several times already.

I have to go to class right now, or I'd look it up for you. Go to www.realoem.com and look for the diagram for the intake manifold. It may be on there. It's been a while since I've done mine, but I beleive the spring goes on the bottom. Definetly double check that though.

Good luck, that's kind of a bitch to do.

spring goes on the bottom, o-rings go on bottom and top. I don't remember any washers.

Top just has an o-ring.

Bottom goes spring, washer, o-ring from top to bottom.The washer is so the spring has something flat to press on the o-ring.

Top just has an o-ring.

Bottom goes spring, washer, o-ring from top to bottom.The washer is so the spring has something flat to press on the o-ring.

that's right - it's been a while.

installing it is the easy part. its cramming the 25lbs of sand into the crank case hole thats the hard part, but the gains are incredible for this mod.

Thanks for the help.

Any idea why Realoem would show 2 flat washers if there is only 1 for the spring to rest against? Where does the other one go?

I only see one washer. the lower one is the o-ring.

[smcdermott326]

but the QTY is 2....just like the o-rings...you only see the bottom one but there is a top one as well that's not shown.

[Toms73NovaSS]

got it! I don't know what it originally had. However a washer up top would provide a more perpendicular edge for the oring to sit on rather than the radius-ed (Sp!) surface of the tube flange....????

Pics?
That would really help the rest of us.
