The Porsche 911 Oil Pipe Tank to Engine, 2nd Section – OE Match (Part Number: 91110773910/1) is a replacement engine oil pipe designed for selected classic Porsche 911 models manufactured between 1973 and 1977.
Fits:- Porsche 911 1973-77
Diagram Ref No 33
Designed to match the fitment and intended functionality of the original Porsche component, this OE Match replacement offers a cost-effective alternative to a Genuine Porsche-branded oil pipe while helping maintain reliable oil circulation within the engine's dry-sump lubrication system.
The oil pipe forms the second section of the oil line connecting the external engine oil tank to the engine. It provides a secure passage for engine oil, supporting the continuous oil supply required to lubricate critical internal engine components.
The air-cooled Porsche 911 engine relies on its external oil tank and dry-sump lubrication system to maintain effective lubrication under varying driving conditions. A properly functioning oil pipe is therefore essential for preventing oil loss and ensuring dependable engine operation.
Over time, original oil pipes can become corroded, weakened or damaged due to age, moisture, road salt, vibration and repeated temperature changes. Deteriorated pipework or connections may lead to oil leaks, reduced oil supply and potentially serious engine damage.
Replacing a worn or leaking oil pipe with an OE Match replacement helps restore the integrity of the lubrication system and maintain reliable engine oil circulation.
Ideal for routine engine maintenance, oil system repairs, exhaust backdate conversions and classic Porsche restoration projects, this OE Match oil pipe provides a practical replacement solution for ageing original components.
What This Product Does:The oil pipe tank to engine is an essential component of the Porsche 911's dry-sump engine lubrication system.
Unlike conventional wet-sump engines, the classic Porsche 911 uses a separate external oil tank to store much of the engine oil. Oil is circulated between the tank and engine to provide lubrication and assist with engine temperature management.
The second-section oil pipe forms part of the connection between the external oil tank and the engine, allowing oil to pass through the lubrication circuit.
Its main functions include:
- Supporting engine oil circulation: Provides a passage for oil to flow between the external oil tank and engine.
- Maintaining lubrication supply: Helps ensure engine oil can reach the lubrication system responsible for protecting moving components.
- Preventing oil leakage: Secure pipework and correctly sealed connections help prevent oil from escaping.
- Supporting engine cooling: Contributes to the circulation of engine oil, which also carries heat away from internal engine components.
- Maintaining lubrication system integrity: Provides a reliable connection within the dry-sump oil system.
- Protecting internal engine components: Supports the oil supply required to lubricate bearings, camshafts, crankshaft components and other moving parts.
- Supporting reliable engine operation: Helps maintain consistent oil circulation during everyday driving and demanding operating conditions.
- Maintaining the original oil line arrangement: Preserves the intended layout of the classic Porsche 911 lubrication system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
The original Porsche 911 oil pipes are exposed to demanding operating conditions, including engine heat, vibration, moisture, road debris and corrosion.
Over time, these conditions may cause metal fatigue, weakened pipe sections, damaged connections or deterioration of sealing surfaces.
Common symptoms of a worn or damaged oil pipe include:
- Visible engine oil leaks: Oil may escape from corroded pipework, cracked sections or deteriorated connections.
- Oil stains beneath the vehicle: Leaking oil may leave noticeable patches on the ground, particularly beneath the engine or oil tank connection area.
- Corrosion or rust: Prolonged exposure to moisture and road salt can weaken the metal pipe and increase the risk of leakage.
- Damaged or dented pipework: Road debris, accidental impacts or incorrect maintenance procedures may deform the pipe and potentially restrict oil flow.
- Loose or leaking fittings: Deteriorated sealing surfaces, damaged threads or incorrectly tightened connections can result in oil seepage.
- Reduced engine oil level: Continued leakage may gradually reduce the amount of oil available within the lubrication system.
- Oil residue around connections: Damp or greasy deposits around the pipe fittings may indicate an early-stage oil leak.
- Cracked or weakened pipe sections: Ageing, vibration and repeated thermal expansion may contribute to cracking or structural deterioration.
- Burning oil smell: Leaking oil may contact hot engine or exhaust components, producing a noticeable burning oil odour.
- Smoke from the engine area: Oil contacting hot exhaust components can generate smoke, particularly when the engine reaches operating temperature.
- Low oil pressure warning: Severe oil loss or significant restriction within the lubrication circuit may contribute to reduced oil pressure and possible engine damage.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a deteriorated oil pipe is essential for maintaining the reliability and integrity of the Porsche 911's dry-sump lubrication system.
A damaged or corroded pipe can allow engine oil to escape, potentially reducing the oil available for lubrication. Continued operation with significant oil loss can lead to excessive friction, increased engine temperatures and serious internal engine damage.
A severely weakened oil pipe may also fail suddenly, causing rapid oil loss and potentially compromising engine lubrication.
Installing a replacement OE Match Oil Pipe Tank to Engine helps to:
- Restore reliable oil circulation: Maintain a secure connection between the external oil tank and engine.
- Prevent engine oil leaks: Replace corroded or damaged pipework to restore effective oil containment.
- Maintain engine lubrication: Support the continuous oil supply required by critical internal components.
- Protect against engine damage: Reduce the risk of insufficient lubrication caused by oil loss.
- Support engine temperature management: Maintain the oil circulation required for lubrication and heat transfer.
- Improve long-term reliability: Replace ageing components before they develop more serious leaks or structural failures.
- Reduce unnecessary oil loss: Help maintain correct engine oil levels and prevent excessive oil consumption caused by external leakage.
- Support exhaust backdate conversions: Provide the appropriate oil pipe arrangement for compatible earlier-style exhaust configurations.
- Assist with classic Porsche restoration: Restore the intended lubrication system layout during vehicle refurbishment.
- Provide a cost-effective repair: Offer an OE Match alternative to the Genuine Porsche replacement component.
Replacing the oil pipe is particularly recommended when repairing oil leaks, refurbishing the dry-sump lubrication system or carrying out major engine and exhaust system maintenance.
For older Porsche 911 models, inspecting the complete oil pipe arrangement is advisable to identify additional corrosion, damaged fittings or deteriorated flexible hoses.
