For those that remember or find my threads on my repower, please don't mention the builders name. This is just documenting my changes and things I found out on OSO and another member.
Had an oil leak on one of my hoses for my remote filter setup, between the cooler and manifold head unit, so started taking it apart. Found where a piece of 1/2 inch ID fuel line was used instead of oil lines. All other lines feeding everything were also 1/2 ID.
Doing some research found that when using a high volume pump, you also need larger oil lines and different manifold. So another builder fixed we so AN-10 lines, fittings and manifold.
You can see these ar much larger lines (AN-10 = 5/8). To use the new manifold I have to remove the center fitting on the block. Removing it was a real bear, next to no room and is a 1/2 hex bit. Wound up using a impact wrench set on max (around 500 ft lb) and still took some banging to break it loose.
