REFLECTOR: Pressure testing oil cooling system

[Ron Brown]

I tested all of my flexible oil lines (fabricated from the factory Teflon 
supplies) using 160 psi air which was the normal working setting for the air 
compressor in the shop I was working in.  The pressure ratings for this 
system is up to 3000 psi.
