He's talking about the line in the picture (spark plug side of the keg) that runs from the engine's front cover to the rear iron. Those 2 oil ports that you have connected together normally go to an oil cooler that sits in front of the radiator in the RX cars. By design, a rotary dissipates about 1/3 of its heat thru the oil. If it runs for any length of time that way, it won't be happy.
