1G Top mount mani drain help

[Jdevil187]

Can Any of you guys running top mount manifolds share some pictures of your oil drain line? I'm using a Shearer manifold but the way the turbo seats, places the drain line on top of one of the runners. I can get away from the manifold by clocking the drain a little more out, but I'm worried i may blow seals right away.

Why not use some angled AN fittings to route it where you want?

And, what seals are you talking about blowing?

45* out and around the manifold then a nice long piece of line down to the pan. Top mount manifolds are superior because they give you the "fall" needed to allow the turbo to drain much better than the stock location.

You're better to use the braided line in this situation because of the heat from the manifold being so low...it will insulate the line better and prevent it from burning through should the line accidentally touch the manifold.

Thank you!

I just wanted to be sure the 45s wouldn't restrict the flow
