Thanks for the thoughtful reply - and I do see your points.  I should probably consider changing the AL fittings on my Airwolf spin-on oil lines...

 

Matt,

 

Yuck!, Well I lied again...... 3 times already this year and it's only mid Feb.

 

 

This is looking down onto my remote oil take off.  If you look hard, you can see bits of the blue aluminum fittings (just below the Vernatherm) that lead to and from the oil filter.  When I bought the remote setup it came with Al fittings and I used them.

 

The following is taken from above the the vacuum pump - the remote takeoff is under it and the remote oil filter is to the left.

 

 

Here is a view from the left side.  I cannot get anything else firewall forward!!!!!
