Re: Remote Oil line routing
I have pulled apart engines that have sat for 20 years and there is still oil on the crank bearings.

I lube the bearing shells prior to installation, and that is good enough. I put a light coating of lube on the bores when I install pistons. and some light grease on the bottom of flat tappets when installing them.
