Hi Gents,
Anyone car to share their method of routing oil lines to/from a front mounted oil cooler on a '02 Z06 ?
Currently mine are routed from the fitting above the oil filter and then run between the engine mounting bracket and the block. Currently one line has rubbed badly and I need to find a better way. I'm installing LG LT's so now is the time fix this problem if possible.
These are braided AN10 lines and the cooler is mounted in front of the rad. Pics would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Here's a link to my oil cooler install guide. There you'll see how I routed the hoses. 2 things different on mine: I used -8 lines, and I used nylon spiral wrap everywhere I thought the hoses could chafe. I've had to replace the nylon at the worst spot (coming through the front cross member), but nowhere else.

HTH, and have a good one,

I wrapped mine with header-wrap before installing. Heater hose works well too.

You'll want to wrap the lines... I did mine w/ electrical loom, but it's melted off where the headers pass by.

[b]What is it chafing on?[b]

I looked mine over last oil change, and even though the plastic was melted where the headers pass by the top line I couldn't see any ill effects.

I put a heat wrap like this one from Summit on to help block heat, plus wire loom to keep from chaffing.

Thanks Guys, I used all the ideas you suggested when I installed this but the problem is the lack of space with AN10 it's a very tight fit. The oil line braiding has worn on the block casting that's the engine mounting point. I'll get in there tonight and smooth out the casting and remove any rough edges and check out the damage ....I'll let you know how it looks.
VetteDrmr. I found your web pics helpful when I installed this last year ...thanks.
