Thanks for the reply guys. I'm glad to hear the lines are factory correct. It does make sense that oil will travel faster through the smaller line to the furthest cylinder.

It only matters on the initial fill when you're holding the cable pulley open all the way and idling the engine to fill the lines.

I would not be concerned about the line sizes, they are correct.

More important, what are the DRY check valve release pressures for each check valve? Correct release pressure, DRY AIR, NO OIL IN THE LINE, 4.60 PSI.

Thanks! I'll check that.
Is that release pressure also correct for H2 check valves?

Affirmative, same. A hand pressure pump with low pressure gauge is the right checking device. 15 PSI setup is more than adequate.

Do not use compressed air from a compressor for these tests.
