Default Question about drill mod please help!!

K i made a mistake and drilled the wrong end of my hydraulic line. Drilled the check valve end. Is the hydraulic line still usable or do I need to replace it? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Just want to make sure it's reusable before I reinstall tonight. Ended up drilling the correct end and cleared out any debris in the line. Thanks ahead of time for responses!!

I don't think I'd reuse it. I believe you can purchase upgraded lines from tick. I could be wrong but worth checking.

i researched a little more on this subject and found a few interesting threads on other ls1 forums. One gentlemen said he had made his own clutch line with free flowing fittings on both ends and worked great. What would be the difference with my setup if I drilled both ends. Just needing some opinions ladies and gents thanks much!

With the thing drilled out on the master side you are fine. On the slave side I don't know if it'll affect how the quick connect holds or if you'll just leak more fluid when you disconnect.

The o ring should seal the quick connect to the slave but I see your point once the connector is removed from the slave it could leak fluid. Idk I am prolly just gonna replace the hydraulic line and install a tick remote bleeder while everything is apart and just be done with it

if you can get the hydraulic line from tick it will already be drill modded in that the restriction won't be there in the first place.

Manual transmission stuff, not external engine stuff.
