Thats the Oil cooler line. It runs to the Oil Pump and has a bracket that attaches to the oil pan. Not sure how to replace just the rubber though. I have a extra one I will look at when the sun comes up
i cut the rubber part off of my 92 with a cut off wheel. im sure you could use something else
replaced it with a new piece and used clamps on both sides
shouldn't be to hard
Dumb question but: Did you remove the line before cutting it off or did you do it while it was still in the engine bay? Me with a sharp tool near the engine could spell disaster lmao.
I'd remove it then. It'd be easier to clean and work with if you did anyways. If you did it on the car, you may get debris in the coolant line, but I guess you could do it that way if you want.
I did a similar thing on a different metal/rubber coolant line not too long ago. If you want to keep the new piece of rubber short, cut through the aluminum crimp, if you don't care, cutting the metal tube would be easier. I think if you cut through the crimp, you'll end up with a lip to grip onto with the new hose....I could be wrong though.
No, the oil pump is on the timing cover. Just follow the hose's routing and you'll see where it goes.
I don't know if you can get a replacement hose. You could cut some of the hard tubing off and then clamp 3/4" hose to the tubing/water pump.
Looks like the coolant line going from the water pump to the oil cooler. If I was doing it - I would remove it, cut the metal part holding the hose. This way you can keep the metal tubing and use new hose and clamps on the ends.
