Is this a worry?

It does get hot, but I wasn't sure if some of ya'll run it like this. This oil feed line is from a common ebay kit




Thanks!

 

wtf did you hook this up to? This is the typical supply port:

 

He's got an NB and doesn't have that on the block. Looks like sourcing from the the oil sender T

 

Find out what size it is, they're typically -3 or -4 AN. Buy a longer pre-made -3 line, or if it's -4, buy SS line and fittings. Point the 90* fitting at the turbo away from the engine, and loop it either to the front or to the rear of the engine, so you're not going directly over the manifold. I then wrap mine in fire sleeve for abrasion and heat protection.

 

take a piece of string/hose/whatever, run it from your feed around the back of the head over to the turbo in a way that it doesnt rub or get snagged on anything sharp or hot. Measure length, make or order new line according to that size.

 

Thank you all for the responses. I will order a new longer line and route it away. I made the post because I wasn't sure if others have it this way, but now that I think about it, it's not worth the risk of the hot air melting the line and risking an oil related fire..

 

lol, what happened to mine

 

Run it behind the block over the trans kinda
