Copperlines work fine but you have to attach lines properly to body so they dont break down, copper may easily crack under tremor. my advice is that make thos lines teflon with stainless mesh coating , not the cheapiest but everlasting solution..

i think maybe shop who sell example pneumatic and hydraulic etc parts can help and prices may be lower than racing shops..

[Pirvu Eugen]

So the teflon ones like the oil lines from the cooler are working for gas also?
Super!
Thank You verry much!
All the best!

Not the best day!
After I found that the main crank seal mounted by me for an friend, after 4000 km is leaking badly and i dont know wy, I have start dismantle the engine for my project.
What i found is that the all bores are worned out at the top with 0.15mm.
I had a second engine.....dismantle and.....ofcourse....0.15mm wear
I dont have money for oversize pistons.
What to do? Please!

Oh dear Eugen,
That sounds like bad luck. Hope you can sort it quickly and your project gets moving again.
