My prototype oil line

I made this so I can see my oil pump working.
This ain't your off the shelf Home Depot plastic tubing. I have already made one change but I'm rocking this one until those materisls arrive.

Man what a good idea.

I love it, if I wasn't so lazy, I'd do one for my bike.

Pretty cool to watch.

What size bung fittings? Are the AN fittings -4?

Very cool idea. Seems to have great flow

woaah there! is exhaust heat not a problem for the pipe? would also hate too see hot oil spray onto an even hotter header pipe!! mabe some heat wrap on the header at the very least. just trying to help. cheers regards nigel.

Can you throw a one way valve in at the bottom so it pressurizes up top more quickly?

I don't think it is a problem as long as oil is inside the tube. It's like a radiator tube that runs past the exhaust.
Whats interesting is, if you had a styrofoam cup full of water and placed it on a red-hot piece of steel, the styrofoam would stay intact as long as it had water inside. As the water boiled off, the cup would slowly melt down. Similar principal with the oil line as long as it contains oil. Though if you turned the engine off and the oil drained down, the tube would run the risk of melting.

That tube material can take the temps no problem as well as several thousand PSI.
But the next line will be routed like the oem one.

It needs to go into the bottom cap of your radiator, spin around inside multiple coils and then back out to your head. You would increase both engine life and your hp output.
