(its 6.35mm to be exact).Knowing this you can measure your steel hard lines in mm and work it out back to the dash system using this chart http://mdmetric.com/tech/cvtcht.htm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82552-earls-filter-fittedwith-a-difference/page/11/#findComment-1508034 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the end of the oil feed line ( turbo side) and the original end of the line is leaking oil. Lost heaps, only just on the stick.Is is between the original bit that screws directly into the turbo and the end of the new feed line that is leaking. They have out some sealant on it but it is clearly not working. Was this supposed to have been removed and the new feed line directly screwed into the turbo?If not what sealant should I use to fix it. Totally not worth the $100+ labor. Only got the mechanic to do it as the fuel pump died and it was already in the shop.

I would undo it and apply some lock tight sealant (apply to thread only ) best of luck with it Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82552-earls-filter-fittedwith-a-difference/page/11/#findComment-1511258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
