Not sure about that Bernie, With a long flex pipe on my comet, You can see the oil pumping !.
Also I have been told that metal pipes that have been chromed, have had the flex pipe pop off !.
Cheers Bill.

It is generally accepted that fluids are incompressible. An oil pump will create little to no pressure in an oil pipe with an open end. An oil pump pumping to an oil pipe with a small orifice at the end is likely to create more pressure. What would happen to an oil pipe with a blocked orifice assuming that the oil pump was not so worn that there was a lot of bypass?

I guess a blocked pipe would do it but certainly I have known machines for years that have had push on ferrules BUT it is essential the pipe and ferrule are a good match - as they were when originally fitted
