I made a mistake. While installing the water pump, I didn’t properly align the Engine Oil Cooler Pipe with the water pump, which caused a kink in the oil cooler pipe after I fully tightened the pump.
I haven’t tried to pull it out yet, but I’m considering wrapping a wire around the tip and slowly pulling it out.
If I mess up again and the pipe cracks, what are my options?
Circled

No idea what year or engine you have.

 

Great advice from 12jagmark!
Just a note but you have a large failure headed your way?
Please get rid of those plastic cooling pipes with the big flat seams. Those were the worst design of all.
I am surprised they have not failed already? You might consider getting the after market Aluminum ones as they are lifetime.

Not sure what you mean by wrapping a wire around the tip?? The SC will need to be removed to service the oil cooler brick. The good thing about that is now the engine is opened up and you can replace all the bad plastic junk with Aluminum parts! Rear water manifold, both front cooling pipes, oil cooler brick pipe and thermostat housing. Maybe replace the plastic bleed screw with the brass version too.

If you have the SC snout noise that can also be fixed since it's all off. Maybe remove and block off the dumb Symposer stuff? It's a great time to sit back and think about what you can do all at once. The labor is the same and you don't want to get another failure and have to go back in for more repairs.

Were you installing a new water pump when this happened?

2014 XJR LWB with 60K miles.

 

Thank you, Clubairth1. Yes, I got the new URO aluminum engine oil cooler pipe (LR028136PRM), and a new waterpump. Must not have aligned the pipe with the pump, this pushed the pipe sideways and bent the oil cooler pipe. Believe I will take your advice and go deeper.
Does this kit has everything you are referring to? https://www.ebay.com/itm/13511372931...3ABFBM-KCG0q9k
Not sure of ebay purchase though.

 

Don't worry about the oil cooler happened to me it can easily be bent back to the way it was
Not the opening only the pipe itself don't try to fix the opening you will only make it worse as long as it fits inside the other pipe
You should get OEM water pump the rest of those parts look good

 

I believe I have successfully pulled the pipe forward using a zip tie and just using brute force. Hope it works. Now just need a new O ring and will try putting it back together tomorrow. The rest of the rubber and pipes look very healthy for 60K miles. Still looking around for the aluminum parts mentioned above. Many cheap options...a bit scary.

 

Watch these videos very helpful

 

Glad you were able to straighten it out. Let's hope it does not leak.

Yes that kit looks complete and it has JLR marked Aluminum parts too? Still not sure where or how these came to be or if they are indeed JLR parts?
The kit does have one item that has confused several people? I have circled it in red below.





That block off part is only used on certain Land Rovers. It goes here on the upper cooling pipe.
Again circled in red.





On Jaguars there is a plastic cooling hose attached. So you won't use that part on your car.
I don't think the kit mentions that?

I doubt the kit is from JLR. Most likely made to spec from China. For the price, I guess I can order and see what happens. Don't have much information on the listing regarding the plastic cooling hose.
Will try to email the seller and see if I can get more info, and will post what I hear.
Thank you Dennis for the videos. Watching them now.
Received the new O ring a bit ago, but think it will have to be Sunday to get back to the repair work.

 

Yes it's all after market parts for sure and yes probably all Chinese too.
I doubt the vendor has any information and is probably just one of many resellers of these parts.
