-Shaughn</TD></TR></TABLE> Good and cheap rarely if ever go together. Now keep in mind these are OIL FEED lines we are talking about, you really wanna go cheap on these? I think I spent almost $140 on SS braided line and SS fittings. If you really wanna be cheap, try to use some straws from McDonalds, that would be the cheapest... Spend the money, you wont regret it down the road.

-Shaughn</TD></TR></TABLE>Sorry, had to raz yo a little on that. I know the golden eagle kit is a little over $200 but it comes with the head gasket and that cool *** piece that the oil line fits on behind the oil filter. This part alone makes that kit worth it IMO. I haven't seen any other LS/VTEC kits out there and believe me I have searched high and low. For simplicity and reliability I would suggest that kit. Most people run into problems running a T fitting right off the back of the block. It just isn't a strong shape (plus a ton of people use cheap fitting, not good automotive SS fittings) so they get a nasty oil leak. **** I have seen that oil filter part sold for $75 alone, so thats almost half the price, go with that. The kit in combination with patience will serve you well in the long run..

You can buy a pre-made kit such as the Golden Eagle kit. There are a lot of different kits on EBay also. You can build your own kit too. The fitting size for the head is a 3/8 BSP (or NPT), and for the block is a 1/8 BSP (or NPT). What you need is a 3/8” BSP (or NPT) to 6AN adapter, about 2 feet of 6AN SS braided line, 2 6AN female ends, and the appropriate fitting for the block (depending how many accessories you want to run off the oil pressure sensor location). Use thread sealant on all the connections.
