With an oil cooler? For approximately how many hours? I've been told I must convert to steel for all the oil line end fittings. Tough to do with AN fittings and decent routing. Next: Anybody using AN non-banjo fittings to attach fuel lines to the carbs? I found an 8mm male to -3 AN male steel adapter, but have 1/4" fuel lines so need to convert to -4. I can only find -3 AN to -4 AN converters in aluminum.

It is the first time I have heard this after almost 20 years on various lists and forums. To your specific question - 912 UL 900 hours. I wonder about the wisdom and more specifically the reason for using steel fittings on an aluminum engine block.
