help with oil metering lines.
i was removing the LIM because i got a gasket kit. and in going so i broke about a 1/4 off the lines on each oil injector. what can i use to fix them? i mazdatrix has the OEM lines but i don't have $30 for each line. the motor is a S4 turbo(JDM). i also have parts from my N/A motor. but i feel funny about putting lines in that maybe brittel.

There is also a thread in the archive section here regarding this and where to get the material. Doesnt seem difficult at all. Be careful with the vacuum spider though, they are brittle from all the heat

I would recommend spending the $30 per line, to be honest. I have tried on three separate occasions to rebuild metering oil lines and they have leaked every time. Now either I am doing something wrong, or the fittings Mazda used are just slightly off of standard sized plastic line. Either way, when you think about the pain in the *** factor, $120 isn't much.
