what are these thingies on top of engine

ok i got the intake and solinoids off my car and on top of the block there are these plug like items in the block, they got a yellowish looking tube running to them and a vacume line coming off each one, i figure its oil injection, is it also called the mop lines, thanks, scott

MOP = Metering Oil Pump

The MOP lines are the transparent lines. If you follow them, they will lead directly to the Metering Oil Pump The vacuum lines are for boost. Oil is injected depending on the amount of Boost that they see, and the oil metering pump ensure there is constant oil in there. It's a combination of both....I think The oil is injected with the pressure from boost and the pump. I forgot exactly how it works, but this is pretty much it.

garfinkle told me that when you shut the car off the vacuum held in the system keeps oil in the lines from running into the motor so there is no over oiling at the next startup
