Brief Description:  Install AN4 oil lines

Installed solid aluminum AN4 oil line from engine tee fitting to bulkhead fitting secured to hole drilled through baffle and rear engine flange.
Made up braide hoses using the techniques in this video.
Briefly considered the "Koul Tool" suggested in the video, but at $29 ea and a set of three for $79 it seemed a ridiculous price per fitting. Helpful were the video suggestions. Used a cutoff wheel on a die grinder to make square cuts in the braided line clamped between vise jaws identical to those in the video, Clamping the braided lines and fittings during cut and assembly made those stages of the process simple. Must wear safety glasses as there is substantial debris as the braiding is cut.
A convenient small tube of assembly oil from JEGS was also very helpful. The assembly lube is a light mineral oil. The oil providing greater confidence that the braided line isn't pushed out of the socket by the tapered inlet as happened on a previously made dry AN6 fitting. Marked the hose at the socket line and checked for movement after assembly.
