what do you think the stealmode oil lines come with? let me think............. oh yea brass fittings. then just go to amazon and get some braided line made to spec. im not talking bout getting some water hose as a feed line. OBVIOUSLY

i would use brass fittings in everything except the turbo feed. i have had the brass fitting break on me from the heat. if you are buying fitting maybe you should just look into the xrp, earl, or russell fittings from your local speed shop. if you dont wanna do that, go to amazon and get steel fittings, not brass.

thats a common problem w/ tapping at the oil pressure sensor w/ brass fittings, which is why y prefer to just use a sandwich plate. makes much easier install

it has never happened to me in the block, it happens to me because brass gets screwed into the hot ass chra and doesn't like it very much lol....i use brass fittings in blocks all the time. but the feed from the head is just my backup method.
