- David Nock hit part of the nail on the head. The loops are there to stop pulsations, either fast or slow. The fast pulsations from the oil pump can be smoothed out also the slow pulsations from the

- Please explain further for a country boy how the loops "smooth out" pulsations in the oil? The system is hydraulic once it is filled with oil and no compressibility can take place, except for air tra

- I'm with you Dallas. From what I know of fluid dynamics, you're right. The loops can provide no damping of pulses, since they are full of fluid. I seem to remember a while back (on another topic) oth

- I agree Chris. I always thought they were simply there to allow separate movement of the engine and the body. My MGTD has a flexible hose section in the oil line to the firewall for this purpose. I w

- Hi Chris, After the car has been sitting for a while, try disconnecting the gage line at the block. On my engine, the oil has drained out of the oil gallery & also some out of the copper line & out o

- Ahh, but air doesn't damp anything. In fact air is one of the most reliable springs that there is, since it loses very little energy under compression and returns almost 100% of that energy during ex

- That's just the point. Combined with the tiny inlet restrictor in the gage line It does alter the high frequency pulses to much lower frequency. This reduces flutter & the wear & tear on the rack &
