When i put my HX40 on I had to modify the oil return hose to make it fit. I cut the metal tube and put a longer piece of rubber hose in place of it. My problem is the only 7/8&quot; wire wound hose that I could find was not rated to hold oil or fuel. Does anyone know where I could find 7/8&quot; hose that will work or has anyone else had to do this and what did you do to fix the problem. Thanks for any help.<br><br>Justin

 

Justin,<br><br>First, make sure that your turbo's drain opening is clocked properly.<br>Then, I would adjust your metal drain tube installed in the engine block by using a rubber mallet or placing an object in it and orientating it in the direction in which you desire.<br><br>Then your rubber drain hose should line up perfectly.<br><br>--Justin

 

Why did you have to mod the oil tube? COuldn't you just clock the turbo to line up?

 

I did clock the turbo but the problem that I ran into was where the oil drain line mounts to the turbo. When i tried to bolt the tube to the turbo the tube would hit the turbo. I cut the tube and mounted it in the other direction so the tube was facing towards the fender then ran a hose from there to the motor. I was told that the oil return line on some years was shaped differently. I looked at my buddies 2001 and it was different than mine. My HX40 is not from piers so I am not sure if they do something differnt on theirs to fix this. I just have a stock 40. What I did is working fine I just need to find some hose that can be used for oil.<br>
