oil line compression nuts

[v11brad]

after reinstalling oil line conections at sump both leaked at less than the max torc of 22lbs as advised in guzziology,after fully heated engine run.I'm concerned these conections will fail in time. I don't have a shop manuel, does it require replacing o-rings and compression fittings (oil lines)?

Unless the threads are crossed, the compression fittings will be fine, inspect the o rings to see if they are damaged or flattened loosing their sealing face. New o rings are cheaper than new oil lines.

Hi

 

would suggest you use Dowty rings instead of the wahsers these things are fitted with. These are like a plain steel washer with a rubber instert and seal well at low torques and are reusable. Any Hydraulics dealer will have them. Cheers
