My experience thus far is only very short-term (about 2 weeks) on a TR250.
But I saw an instantaneous improvement in start-up oil pressure, etc.,
etc. I can't see that the potential for leaking is any worse than with the
original setup. As for a burst adapter housing, I suppose a flaw in an
individual casting could cause that, but it seems unlikely.
I give it a definite "thumbs-up" rating!
