Engine oil cooler hoses

[newbie17]

Searched for old threads on factory engine oil cooler hoses-found one from 2012. Poster did not
find an answer.
It's been 9 yrs. Anybody ever find a source for these hoses? Dorman only sells one of them.
(625-617). I need the (625-616) also. Same goes for LMC. I need both hoses. I know I'm not the only one with a factory engine oil cooler!!
I have searched the net-no luck.

What engine?
What oil filter adapter do you have?

You're taking about the ones that go to radiator? I have two prebent ones my neighbor gave me but, for now I have rubber hoses on it. If you can't find them you might have to bend your own.

The shop was gonna charge 300 to bend them for me. So I went with the rubber hose for now to save some money and will fix later.

Sorry for not providing enough info.
5.7L. Has the factory adapter.

I just replaced the ones on my truck, but I have a 454. Not sure what's different except for maybe length and I know mine go through the engine crossmember. I have this style cooler on my K30.

Dorman 625-131 Lower hose (Inlet)

Dorman 625-132 Upper hose (Outlet)

does he 87 use the small sandwich between filter and the engine, thus needing a short filter unless one were to have the safe clearance for a longer, decided to remote the filter, or had it 90 degree off the sandiwched adapter i reference?

Is this for your 87 R30 ?

Looks like GM parts Giant has the inlet hose:

The other hose should be a 12472194 and it is available on Amazon

You might want to double check the part numbers to be sure. You can put your VIN in the GM Parts Giant site to be certain.

Thanks BillK and AuroraGirl. That looks like my oil filter adapter and oil cooler. The (2) Dorman hoses are
for 4WD-won't work. I called LMC to have them measure the one line they sell.
They replied this morning- the line is P/N: 32-1860 and is 39" to the 90 degree bend and 3.5" from the 90 to the end of the tube. I will be removing my old lines this week end and will measure them. Looking at them
as installed, they look to be about the same length. If so, I will buy (2) of the LMC lines.
I'll post my findings. Thanks guys!!!

I have never had good luck with Dorman hoses, whether for a 6.5TD. 6.2NA, or a BBC. I ended up using AN fittings and braided stainless hose. Your results may differ.

 

[newbie17]

Thanks Rickf. Yep, many people think I'm weird for wanting to keep my vehicles(trucks//cycles) as close to
original as possible. However!!!!! that being said, going for the AN braided hose and anodized fittings
is looking pretty good right now. I have been in aviation for 56yrs. and I'm very familiar with AN
hose/fittings. Great suggestion Rick-plus the braided hose install would look really good!

 

[BillK]

If so, I will buy (2) of the LMC lines.

Just make sure they aren't Dorman lines in the LMC box Would not surprise me.

 

[newbie17]

Yes! If I go that way I will make sure NO DORMAN. I would not want an oil line to blow or even leak.

What kind of Pressures does the oil cooler loop see(from the filter adapter, its adjustable i think too) if its sub 50 I would look at using the lines you have and chop the rubber off and flare and put a new hose in spots where its bad and use fuel injection clamps.

Also, i dont know what the line looks like, if its mostly a hard line then a rubber at the cooler, the 4wd prob wont work because of where the engine sits relative to the 2wd. 4wd sits lower i believe, so if its hard line most the way, you would just have issue getting it from the driveline mounting. but if you have a section where, in the middle, you could chop a rubber bit off and put a longer, you could make work. also 2wd usually have shorter filters OE maybe a diff adapter>?
i know the adapter is the same as big block

I just recently took my old hoses to a Pirtek hose repair business and they re-used the old metal sections and put in new rubber and crimp ferrels to make me a new set just like to originals. $65 each hose.
