I'm ordering an LDK from Mongo this weekend no matter what. Not really wanting to sell my built head anyways. I threw up a bunch of Black Friday taillight deals hoping that I won't even have to sell my Ultraleggeras lol. And I don't think I'd be happy with a K04R since I've tasted that ZFR too many times lol

I personaly feel the design of the oil feed is flawed in everyway except the fact they are trying to keep it short as possible. The biggest issue i see in a lot of manufactuering is some of thebproducts for cars people heavily road race are being tested on track but rather being tested based on statistics. Now in some cases this will work. However will direct injection becoming common i honestly feel things should be tested in different scenarios. The heat generated is extreme during a session and a oil line rubbing tbe manifold wont last even with heat wrap tjat exceeds temp build ups.
When i install zfrs i give the feed back to the customer to keep as a spare. I use aeroquip teflon coated line and fittings to match. Aeroquip is hands down the best plumbing out there along with fragola as my second favorite. They do however come at a steeper price then buying chinese fittings or russell or earls.
This is my solution for the lnf and i movr the oil feed location from the rear port to the front port. The ldk would have to be slightly longer.

What happened was the oil line went and after all the oil leaked out the bottom end started making so much friction the engine overheated. Now that the clamp was off the extra pressure of the overheated coolant system blew the line off.
Adrian pull the oil line off and where it looks burnt try to bend it. I bet it'll crack because its been burnt through.
Yes this is a common issue to solve it i recommend a longer oil hose. My ceramic coated pcs helped but didn't solve it for me. Also I have some heat shielding I use that I can post a pic later that works very well and is cheap.
