are there sections where it is completely level?

I guess with it being so long it may allow the level section to drain... but I really am not sure.

actually kinda reminds me of the stock volvo oil lines. All hardlines and they are pretty long.

looks like it'll work. Your manifold seems extremely close to the IC. :o

i'd only be concerned about that last level looking section at the bottom, i guess the weight of all the oil above should push it and under acceleration it should have a pretty easy time going backwards into the oil pan

why not just take it between two of the runners so you can keep it angled?

i'd go for the long return, gravity is your friend.

looks pimpn' to me. The last section being level is the worst thing, but that shouldn't be a problem considering the oil above will be pushing it out from above.

You might get build up in there though. Just take it off every 10k and clean it out with some carb clean.

I really dont see any issues with it, the oil being hot is pretty damn viscous and the velocity it will pick up down the line will aid it in its travel through the semi level sector of the tube. Glad to see its almost done aaron, keep up the good work.

gravity is on your side hopefully amigo :8
