Default Anyone here have B&B headers...

...and can post a pic of their setup? Specifically, the underside of their car showing the headers and routing of the oil lines, etc.

Yes me, sorry wanted to take some pics for you but like yourself I have just dropped the engine for the first time too. I will get the camera to it on the weekend.
I thought in return you could give me a picture of the oil inlet pipe that bolts onto the crankcase- I broke mine off when disconnecting it and dont know if its a B&B special or stock...

If it is supplied by B&B it will be braided, if it is beautiful (IMO) thin solid tube then it is stock.

The irony is that I want the pics to see the oil inlet pipe and routing - which incidentally I'm having trouble installing. My pipe simply won't screw on to the case.

Mine is both there is a 90 degree solid tube and then that is screwed onto the braided hose. Is the solid tube stock?

The 90 degree tube is not stock. That's actually the piece I'm having trouble with. The threads on it don't screw into my case. I can't get it to screw into anything, so I suspect the threads weren't cut completely.

Stephen, THANK YOU, I'll obviously let you know how the new pipe works out!

The one on my car (car previously had a Powerhaus engine in it that went bang) and the one which Stephen supplied me with for my GHL's is braided with a elbow on one end and straight the other. It's all one piece. I wasn't aware at the time of purchasing my tuning parts that I could of bought a solid tube. The new braided hose I will keep as a spare.

Miles, I'd still take some pics if it isn't a trouble.

So my broken pipe... I phoned B&B and they said they didnt know if they made that or not, Im as I need to replace it, prerhaps something else could do the trick?

This pipe defenitly comes with the 'oil fitting' kit from B&B?

Do you have the original line? You can cut the end off and tig it on there. I just did this recently

You say definately but then have a question mark??? Can you take a photo of the entire line/pipe that broke? I can confirm that the part is from B&B ... or not.


Quick Reply: Anyone here have B&B headers...
