I'm looking to build my own AN lines for oil tank for my -6 conversion, but I can't find any information on how long the lines have to be. Does anyone have the measurements for length on the lines needed? Please let me know. Thanks!

Stainless braid/rubber hose looks cool and all blingy, but that stuff can saw through all kinds of things if it flexes against something it shouldn't.
The other thing I've seen is a section that had internally collapsed (it looked like a camera shutter) and completely closed off. You couldn't tell from the outside that there was a problem, only removal of the hose and fishing a cable through the hose revealed the problem. It was fine until it heat cycled a few times, then the engine totally lost oil pressure. Fortunately the owner believed the oil pressure gauge and didn't run the engine until the problem was discovered. |
