I thought that I would share a little informatiom about those darn dual line Milidon oiling systems I spent the better part of 9 hours making one work, the system had one bad new line, the long one, a bad pump cover that has a internal air leak and a bad connection on the pick up in the oil pan(the customer had assembled the pick up, the new one piece non swiviling steel one pick up, in the pan before I got involved on the project) Luckily the customer had a old system that always worked that was on the bench so we could swap parts around to identify the bad new parts What a waste of time trouble shooting new parts I hope this helps some of you in the future, don't buy the Milidon stuff, use some other brand instead

Cab, one of the TWIN Rathburg's is about to slap you right about now man! I have used the Milodon setup without issue before. And I also used the INDY setup. I'd prefer the INDY setup if I had to do it again. Wes

I've been running the Milidon external for 6 or more years with any any issues nor have I ever replaced the green gasket. I do check to make sure the allen headed fasteners are tight when I have the oil filter off.
The negative reports make me nervous but I haven't had any problems...(yet)

OKAY, you guys have me spooked now! I've ordered a Hemi from RBRE & they're in the process now of starting to piece it together. At my request they're outfitting it with a Milodon system since I didn't have any problems with my previous one. SOOO with all these alleged problems, what do you guys recommend. the thing's going in a Dart with an engineplate & stock front suspension, so space IS kind of an issue.

Got one on the way . This was about the the 8th pass with this new motor.
You won't be disappointed. They are easy to pull apart and inspect also. I could detect the the fibers from rags used when I adjust the valves and wipe things off at the track and chips of paint off of the valve springs when torn down for inspection. Especially nice on fresh builds as well. Beep
