THIS IS JUST A NOTE TO WARN RACERS ABOUT THESE NEW BLACK LINES BEING USED INSTEAD OF STEEL BRAIDED LINES. I HAD MY MOTOR REBUILT & UPGRADED OVER THE WINTER & ADDED A DRY SUMP SYSTEM TO IT. THE BUILDER S R T INSTALLED THESE BLACK LINES INSTEAD OF USING STEEL BRAIDED LINES. THESE LINES COLLAPSED & THEREFORE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO MY MOTOR AFTER 14 PASSES.AFTER DOING SOME REASERCH I FOUND OUT THAT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A COIL INSTALLED INSIDE TO PREVENT THEM FROM COLLAPSING. I SPOKE TO S R T & HE SAID HE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM & HE ONLY USES THE COIL ON PRO MOD ENGINES THAT PULL 25" OF VACUME MINE PULLED 18". I ALSO SPOKE TO OTHER PEOPLE & WAS TOLD NASCAR HAD PROBLEMS . BOTTOM LINE WAS THAT OIL LINES COLLAPSED & WERE SUCKED CLOSED AT HIGG RPM CAUSING NO OIL TO PASS THROUHG THE MOTOR. WHEN I SPOKE TO S R T 2 MONTHS AFTER THE FACT HE TOLD ME TO CRATE THE MOTOR & HE WOULD FIX IT.HE WOULD GIVE ME ALL THE PARTS AT HIS COST & PAY TO SHIP,CRANK,RODS, JESSEL LIFTERS,JESSEL ROCKERS JUST ABOUT ALL THE PARTS FOR A COMPLETE REBUILD THAT I JUST PAID FOR.I DECLINED THE OFFER & SENDING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO REPAIR IT. I DONT THINK S R T DID THE RIGHT THING BEING IT WAS CAUSED BY HIS NEGLIGENCE INSTALLING THOSE LINES NOT MINE.I DONT THINK HE STOOD BEHIND HIS PRODUCT AS WELL AS HE SHOULD OF. SO BE CAREFUL WHO YOU SEND YOUR MOTOR TO & BEWARE OF THOSE LINES
