If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Top end oiler

be careful running base stainless line; hose will wear right through anything it touches. The teflon coated stuff does not abrade.

The rails usually push much less oil to the exhaust which is where it is needed most, so this approach would provide equal flow to both. The other war is to run the rails backward with the oil feeding the exhaust first.
 
I'm pretty new to this, but how necessary is this kit? What are the "qualifications" before it becomes "necessary"?
 
One of our members here was making his own kits. Greg I believe. I also believe he swore off making more because of the work involved and minimal profit. Hopefully he's still around and will chime in regarding this ebay kit.

Running four lines eliminates the need for the the oil distribution bars that connect the two feed ports on the side of the head, thus the machining required is minimized. Jim is correct in mentioning how abrasive the outer stainless sheath can be. I've never seen teflon coated on the outside, just vinyl. I believe the inner liner for the line is teflon though. Same stuff as used for brake lines.

Yea, PVC vinyl cover, teflon inner.

Ok, but what level of modifications to the motor are needed before this modification is recommended?
 
I put them on ALL of the performance 1100s & 1150s I build. They put more oil on the cams & rocker arms, helping extend their lives. The BEST benefit I have found with them is that the additional oil helps COOL the valve springs, making them live longer too!

Just for grins I priced the stuff from Summit to make these with -6 AN fittings and braided nylon hose. Using an AN to NPT TEE at the oil adapter, one hose to each side to a TEE and 90* fittings, -6 to 14mm adapters at the head total parts cost was $184. I would rather do the $139 one. BTW he will do blue fittings as well. I think -4 lines will deliver more than enough oil, probably as much or more than 1 -6.

Ray, I'm still going to call you about a lockup clutch, but it's pretty far down the to-do list. I did score a buttoned pressure plate and a billet clutch basket recently.
 
You realize you loose your oil idiot light sensor, but can probably tap into the fitting for your temp gauge sensor.
 
i am looking at the same top end oiler kit, any more experience with these?
seem very well priced compared to other kits.
 
I saw a really cool old Triumph over the weekend and noted the top end oiler setup it had. Don't think this will help you but it sure is neat....
