Hey Jimmy, I've done that before. You can be sure I will again when the engine is re-assembled after the machine work is done.
Hi Drew, the line looks to have a double crimp? Just like a brake line would have. I had a thought to make a new line that would have a slight drop back to the rear of the block. Wouldn't it be a better idea to have whatever oil is in the line to drain back after the engine has been turned off? The line that I removed had a trap in it. Am I wrong to think the oil could sit and maybe deposit any dirt that could be in the oil and then maybe clog the passage again? Or am I jus over thinking this thing? Of course after the rebuild the oil would be kept clean.
Drew, when you made your new line, did you use the existing fittings and the same diameter hole in those fittings?
Thanks for listing to my rambling guys,
Dominic
