re-post, mailer dumbo BS



Ditto ditherings:
Don't put teflon on the line fittings dan.......  I tried this with the GLH
turbo  and we found that the teflon degrades over time with oil, and if you
get one of those "strings" in your oil system you'll have wished you had
risked the weeping oil at the fittings....  The earls lines and fittings are
pretty tight, when I put the 19 row on the 86 5ktq (that's 11-feet of dash
10) there were no leaks at all.........  The biggest thing with aluminum
fittings is not so much torque, but don't deform the flares with
over-torque.....  Just go easy on the bionics, and skip the teflon.....
