What is the "Loop Line" option that is mentioned on the Pineapple Racing website? I have never seen that before.
we got a chance to see some loop lines last weekend, and what i looks like it does is take some high pressure oil from the rear bearing and plumb it directly into the front bearing. so instead of the front bearing being the last to get oiled, its the first along with the rear bearing

Hrm, I have noticed more wear on front bearings than rear ones. I always attributed it to the belts pulling up on the e-shaft to run accessories, but slightly low oil pressure to the bearing would compound this wear a lot... I did spin a front bearing boosting 1.7 with my T70 as well, basically it came apart and all the rotor tips made contact with the rotor housing killed the e-shaft, front stationary gear, and oil pump... Lot’s of metal... looked like I'd struck gold when I popped off the oil pan...



Pic's of this mod please..

the engine we saw was a 13g so it had one line for each bearing coming off the dry sump

im sure that you are familiar with the 13b dragon, if I had a pic of a front plate I would show it better, but this will work.



It is under the accessories plate right around the area of that big red dot.



I believe they bore out a channel that is covered by a aluminum hydraulically placed small round plate in that area.



To get the oil there they take a piece of .75 aluminum plate and stack it inbetween the oil filter and block with a extra port in it for the AN line to the newly bored front port.
