Sorry to post in the wrong section, because I'm new to the forum my posting options were limited.

Im rebuilding my 8, I've replaced hard seals/springs gaskets, rear rotor/rear housing, and my eccentric shaft along with my stationary gear bearings. Last night I finished putting the motor together and started inspecting my OMP pump lines and I realized they seem shrunk and to my knowledge probably the reason my apex seals exploded in the rear housing.

I ordered a new/used OMP pump/w lines this morning. I've searched the forum and google and I can't find my answer so I'm pretty positive it's a stupid noob question. I don't remember where the oil lines from the oil injectors run into, all the pictures I've ran across show the lines broke off like mine are. I imagine it's vacuum lines, but I can't get a clear understanding of its function or what they run into.

Sorry if I used the wrong terms, I'm fairly green with rotorys. I would like to have an understanding before my OMP comes in so I can get the ball rolling again. Again sorry for posting in the wrong area, but I need some more experienced help. -Thanks

It's kind of self explanatory to be honest, they are all different lengths.

Not the lines themselves. But the injector that the banjo fitting connects to, in the picture I'm confused about the black hoses that come off the oil injector nipple thing. Btw what is the correct term for that?

^ What is the point of that picture?

PASTAlovin1823

I dont entirely know the words I'm looking for. I need to know what those black hoses go to, the ones attached to the oil injector. The pictures kinda a reference to what I'm confused about. I understand where the OMP and the lines go, I'm confused about the silver(I assume oil injector) piece with the black hoses broke off on the picture. Do those hoses go to anything

Each vacuum hose from each oil injector goes to this



Did you rebuild the engine yourself?

Thanks, I suppose I'll have to order some more lines since mine are broke. And yes I did, it's my first rebuild so I'm anxious to see how it runs.

Well if you can't figure out vacuum hoses then I would definitely be anxious about your rebuild.

PASTAlovin1823

Well.😂 In my opinion the rebuild was easy. There's so many different threads on it and I found the manual so it was all relatively easy, and with almost all new components I'm not really concerned with the engine itself. I lack a lot of experience but the best way to learn is by jumping in. But we will see soon, appreciate the help guy.
