Hey guys, just wondering if the oil line that is located just behind the oil fill dip stick, (and going up to the rear cylinder head), is a pressure line or a return line? It looks like a pressure line but I can't imagine an oil pressure feed being located behind the transmission at the back of the motor. It also doesn't make much sense being a return line from the cylinder head as return oil could simply be dumped down the timing chain cavity. Any one who knows, please enlighten me. The reason I am asking is that it occurred to me that if this is a return line it might do a lot more good being dumped onto the stator windings

Neither,it's the crankcase breather tube.It routes up to the airbox base.

Well that makes sense, but is disappointing
