when i used to work on cars the big thing was a high output oil pump. then one day i read an article which claimed that high oil pressure wasn't good due to a condition called "bearing wash". they claimed that this was due to the oil being moved through bearing surface so fast it's not able to lubicate and thus "washes" out the bearing surface. so , anybody ever heard this

yesterday the temps got up to about 42 degrees in the afternoon and had a 60% chance of rain!! tempting fate i went fishing. got on the lake at 7am,(sam rayburn) in east texas. it was 34 degrees with a bit of a drizzle. nice!!! i was helping a couple of fellas prefish for a tournement this weekend. we had two boats. i had a great day of fishing,,,caught 2 limits and didnt fish hard. was off the lake by 2 pm...my largest was nearly 6 lbs and smallest was about 2lbs. at 2pm i was ready to get off the lake....my hands and feet were a frozen block of ice....and the rain had really settled in at around noon. running on the lake at 60 at those temps, and rain.....well, kinda like on a bike!!! sept i didnt have a full face shield took about 2 hrs to thaw me out. but...

I went to long w/o changing my oil....:cussing: .I went to drain it...but only got the case oil out. The oil in the tank remained.....I bumped the engine and got a little more.....plzz help . Do I need to pull the return/intake lines? Anything helps.

Friend of mine has a 85 FXRC and it needs new oil lines. The stock ones lasted 15 years, the replacement ones were Gates fuel lines and have only lasted half that time. I figure there must be some "hot setup" for HD oil lines nowadays. I used Tyvek fuel lines on my old Triumph and was impressed with their durability. Anything like that for HD? The lines are 3/8" ID. Probably best to email me back at kweaver@hawaii.rr.com Thanks.
