[Supras] Oil Tube (From valve cover to block, 7M-GE)

[Rockey Fox]

You can buy oil resistant hose at most auto parts stores and industrial hose supply stores. You might also try Jeff Watson at Champion Toyota (800) 327-2087 who gives SOGI members pretty good discounts on OEM stuff.

The heater hose that is designed for water will deteriorate much faster than proper oil resistant hose.

Wow. Toyota wants $40 for this 1 foot piece of tubing.

I put a reinforced heater hose in there, but a number of people have
told me the oil will break down the rubber of the heater hose, and the
alternator is pinching it.

The tubing is about 7/8" diameter. This is another job I only want to do
once, as it involves removing the alternator. Other than buying the tube
from Toyota (which I will do if I have to) anyone have any ideas for a
replacement? I've been to plumbing stores, looked through the Oil Burner
sections in some hardware stores, etc...

Thanks!
