DIY: Clean your OMP/MOP injectors
I read 8 pages of a 28 page thread today concerning this issue. Since I already had my engine out, I did this to prevent damage to a new engine. I am also doing the SOHN adapter and using 2 stroke with my new engine. That thread enlightened me to how important clean oil is needed to lubricate/cool the seals in the Renesis engine. Hope this saves other people over $200 like it did me. I will be saving $144 on the OMP/MOP lines and hope this saves you money as well.
1.)Get yourself some degreaser, any will probably do, but I used the purple stuff full strength.
2.)Find some hose or something that fits the end of the oil injectors. I used a syringe that was used in making jello shots on Bourbon Street, worked absolutely fantastic. If nothing comes out just fill the top of the injector full of degreaser and allow to sit, Try again, until it comes unclogged. It will just be patient.
3.)Let sit for about five minutes and repeat, several times, until liquid comes out clear.
4.)Now do the same with water, to rinse any unwanted degreaser out of the injector.
5.)Now do the same with air to remover any water that may corrode the inside of the injector.
The picture shows what the stream should look like coming out of the OMP/MOP injector

I am working on doing the OMP/MOP lines and will have this done probably tomorrow.

I zoom therefore I am.
nice video, but i'm sure whomever actually uses that kitchen is going to want to kill you if they see it 
as far as the lines go, seems most people replace them, but at 40 bucks a pop that seems pricey for a DIY.

Did you do the vac test on them when you were done?
You have to be careful blowing compressed air into the valves...they tend to lock stuck open and won't hold vac properly. Make sure you blow the air into them in the closed position to re-set the ball

Going through all the trouble and then not properly testing them seems stupid IMO. Okay, they are clean, but do they function properly? It's not a lot of money to have the peace of mind of knowing they are new. Especially if this is all going back into a new motor.

No seriously brand new that little hooker costs as much as a used engine, or a really fun night in Vegas.
I think its $1584 or some ****.
When I had my engine off I was throwing that thing around like it was a rag doll. I would have locked it in a safe if I knew how much it costs.

You are confusing lines, the RB lines feed the oil coolers, not the injectors. But I have those in hand to go on Hoss-05's car and they are good pieces, but the price is kind of ridiculous.

Considering how many bends they have to make I don't see SS lines being a viable replacement option. I considered doing something different with them but I think the factory lines are just fine for 100,000 miles or so.
