why we should all premix:
Just for reference to anyone doing a rebuild, or who just has everything apart.
You can get stainless steel braided oil injector lines from a few vendors. I got mine from Gotham I think.

Actually I don't think that's a very good substitute for a pre-mix oil. IIRC, it's more of a solvent than a lubricant. Check the viscosity of it. It pours like water. It may have some value as a fuel additive, but IMHO not a premix.
Those are a waste of money. How would you ever know if the OMP is working if you can't see the oil flowing? Also the OMP doesn't even pressure the lines enough for those kinds of lines. You can save some money if you DYI your own lines. I did!

After removing omp and premixing its a little of a pain but i dont like the idea of putting old dirty crankcase oil thats diluted with gas in my combustion chamber! I just feel better using an oil product thats designed to be used for this purpose.

i have been premixing since this incident along with stainless braided lines.
to the people asking about how much you premix: if you have an OMP, use about 1/2oz per gallon. if you have the OMP removed/blocked off, use about 1 oz per gallon. any more than that is definitely overkill.

i have also seen plugs for the oil injector holes. somewhere!
No limp mod w/PFC... But I would keep the OMP.
If you are worried about dumping in dirty oil then you could go with the OMP adaptor to use external reservoir tank with clean oil
This is the way I'm going so that I could run FULL synthetic internally and use 2 cycle or conv. oil with the adaptor.

I'm sure he is.
Supposedly the ideal ratio without an OMP is 100:1, so you'd be looking at around 1.5 oz's per gallon of fuel.
I've been running 1 oz per gallon of Idemitsu synth pre-mix (with a working OMP) for quite some time now with no ill effects such as smoking.
