Porsche Genuine Left Side Oil Line to Camshaft Carrier (83-89)

Burkken Auto Parts offers this Genuine Porsche oil line to camshaft carrier for the Porsche 911 (1968-1992). Part number 930-107-347-16 is the oil feed line that delivers pressurized engine oil from the chain tensioner oil pipe system to the camshaft carrier on the Porsche air-cooled flat-six engine. This line is critical for lubricating the camshaft journals, rocker shafts, and chain tensioner mechanism. A failed, kinked, or cracked oil line at this location causes localized oil starvation to the camshaft carrier which can lead to accelerated wear of cam lobes, rocker shafts, and bearing surfaces - some of the most expensive repairs on a 911 engine.

Key Features

• Genuine Porsche OEM oil feed line from chain tensioner system to camshaft carrier
• Fits Porsche 911 (1968-1992) equipped with camshaft oiler system
• Correct tube diameter, length, and end fittings for direct OEM installation
• Prevents camshaft carrier oil starvation - one of the most critical lube points on the engine
• Replace during any camshaft, chain tensioner, or top-end rebuild service

Fitment

Porsche 911 (1968-1992), including 911 Carrera 3.2 (1983-1989) and Porsche 964 Carrera 2 and Carrera 4 (1989-1992). Verify specific fitment against your engine build date before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if this oil line fails on a Porsche 911 engine?
If the oil feed line to the camshaft carrier fails or becomes blocked, the camshaft journals, rocker shafts, and related valvetrain components are deprived of pressurized lubrication. This causes accelerated wear and, in severe cases, scoring of the cam lobes and rocker surfaces. Camshaft carrier repairs are among the most expensive operations on an air-cooled Porsche engine, making preventive replacement of this line a cost-effective investment.

How do I inspect this oil line on my Porsche 911?
Inspect the camshaft carrier oil feed line whenever the engine lid is removed for valve adjustment or camshaft access. Look for cracking, weeping oil, kinked sections, deteriorated rubber ends, and corrosion at the metal fittings. Any sign of compromise is grounds for immediate replacement.

Should I replace this line during a 911 chain tensioner service?
Yes. Since the chain tensioner oil circuit and camshaft carrier oil feed line work as an integrated system, replacing this line during any chain tensioner service is best practice. The cost of the line is trivial compared to the labor cost of returning to the area if it fails shortly after a tensioner job.

What other parts should I replace at the same time?
When servicing this oil line, also replace the chain tensioner oil pipe bracket (930-107-341-00), inspect both chain tensioners and their seals, and refresh all rubber sections of the camshaft oiler circuit. This constitutes a complete top-end oil circuit refresh for 1968-1992 911 engines.

Is this line compatible with the early 1968-1973 911 engines?
Part number 930-107-347-1Y covers 1968-1992 engines. However, early and late 911 engines may have different oiler circuit configurations. Always verify your specific engine type and build date against the Porsche ETK before ordering to confirm this is the correct part for your application.
