Be sure it's not the type with a very tiny pinhole inside instead of a full-diameter tube with about .015" wall thickness. 3/16" copper tube is also available in short lengths on Ebay. It takes about 3 feet of tubing to make the run through the water jacket and up to the rocker arm oil connector, and some special-design brass compression fittings are also needed to seal the tube at both sides of the water jacket.
