Top Sportsman Tom

Answer:

Top Sportsman Tom,

All flexible-pressure oil lines, excluding return lines and any line 30psi or lower in pressure, must pass a minimum 300psi test for 30 seconds with no indications of separation, weeping, leaking, etc. Competitors may test and tag their own lines. Label must indicate date, psi, and tester ID; label must be impervious to fuel and brake-clean. Lines must be tested and tagged within two years. All lines on superchargerd alcohol cars must be routed in such a way that they are not directly in line with cylinder head gaskets at the front, rear, or side of the cylinder heads.
