I replaced the oil lines from the oilpump to the tank. The return line comes off a ninety degree fitting and heads back. The stock line seems to have had a factory bend. My replacement is slightly kinked as it squeezes against the cam cover. I'm considering whether the return pressure and flow should be OK if the line isn't at full open or if I should take off the cam cover and dremel a clearance.

With the motor warmed up to temp open the oil fill cap and check to see if the oil is circulating. I know on my X1 it flows pretty good with a lot of foam/bubbles in the oil.
