Oil lines for injectors?

What can I use for oil lines from the pump to the fuel injectors? The original ones were so brittle they snapped just above the nipples, forcing me to peel the rest of with pliers and a screwdriver.

I am swapping all vac lines with red silicone ones, but as far as I remember, oil and silicone/rubber doesn't work too well.

Anyone got input on this?

Just make your own from PFA tubing and crimp rings. I just bought the bits to make a full set for myself for about $30 including shipping to Canada from an american supplier.

Use the archives link above, or buy new OEM lines. New ones are flexible unlike old lines that have been baking under the hood for 25 years.

do you mean the lines from omp to the oil injectors? not fuel injectors? if so you could always remove the omp and blank it and the injectors off and then premix?

I could premix, but wouldn't a fail to do so from me blast my engine? That wouldn't be nice. One slip. I'd rather be safe with the injectors then :/

Sorry never saw that link.
I will buy those then. 120 bucks isn't too bad.

But, is there a USA/worldwide buy/sell forum? Not for states only, I need to find someone with a C or D rotor and housing that can ship to Norway, used but in mint condition.
