Oil line?
bought a new turbo manifold (to replace my continualy cracking ss autocrap 1) the only way that my oil line will reach my turbo now is if the line runs over the top of the engine. should i get a longer line that will run around the side of the engine or is that ok?

line is 3', was fine with the old manifold i had but with the new 1 the turbo is mounted the opposite direction so the line wont reach as it did before.

My old 3ft lines were almost always ran in this fashion. Just be sure to secure the line so it isn't moving around things you don't want a hole in.

i can't run it "through" the valve cover, it won't reach that way. it runs diagonaly across the valve cover, do you think it will be ok like that? or do i need to figure out some type of sleeve for where it contacts the valve cover?

i have might running right over the top of the engine from the back of the block to the turbo. Absolutely no problems so you should be fine.
