well i just put a new exhaust on and it was leaking where the headers meet the ports and i just went to fix it when i noticed the lines were melted. im thinking the exhausr heat fucked it up.

DO NOT use silicone for omp lines. It will swell up and cause restriction/leaking.


I have only seen melted omp lines as a result of severe overheating.

Posts removed. blackrotary23, you REALLY need to research things before posting. Not only can silicone swell with heat, it is soft enough to tear easily. I use silicone tubing on a daily basis at work, and it is far from ideal for your OMP lines.

A rigid tubing suitable for use with oil is what's needed. We have an archived write-up thread that covers a method for rebuilding lines: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/rebuilding-omp-oil-injection-lines-348068/
