oil metering lines positions at pump
#5
I have the correct connections at the nozzle ends. I am concerned if there is a proper orientation at the pump side. In other words does the 1st rotor line connect to the top orifice of the metering pump. Or does it matter? I assume the metering pump injects the oil in synch with each rotor during some time in its combustion cycle.

So I have a question about the oil metering lines. I've been doing some major reconstruction on my FD lately and I ran into a little snag. It seems that I snapped my oil metering line to the rear rotor. I know I need to fix it, I was just wondering how I could do that safely.
Has anyone ever done this before? I'm sure that's a stupid question considering how brittle that thing was. Any guidance I could get would really help me out. Thanks,
Jeremy

Do you mean these:

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I mean the little plastic line that runs around the primary injectors to the rear rotor. It sorta makes an upside down "U" if you're looking at it from the passenger side. It's very small, maybe 3 or 4 mm wide plastic and very brittle.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Jeremy,
The stock oil injection lines are clear plastic. Over time, they get brittle from the underhood temps and can snap VERY easily. A few shops are now offering SS lines as a replacement for those.
You can see them in the picture from the following link:

That was a friends Mazda reman we were setting up and he used the SS lines instead of the stock plastic ones. I also used them as well on my rebuild. However, replacing the lines while the engine is in the car is not fun. What you "could" do to get by is to go to your local NAPA or AutoZone and find some tubbing rated for oil. Then just connect up the two sections which broke.

So those are the lines that the rx7store is selling? I've got everything out of the engine bay including the turbos, IC, battery and alternator. I think I can get to where they connect. If those are the right lines, I'll order them today and get them installed.
Thanks guys,
Jeremy
