Just make sure it's not leaking oil, the crimped fittings are prone to leaks. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82965-earls-oil-line-is-this-a-problem/#findComment-1329036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The braided line is not miracle sh-t. It needs to be kept as far away from a heat sources as possible, not as you did it as close as possible to a heat source.
