You have one that's broken ?? Post up photos; someone will tell you how to fix it.
I'd beware of its lowering oil viscosity and increasing wear, wouldn't try it.
I learned alot from Code's books and audited (hung out, didn't pay) a track course he taught. If the lady teaches his material, good for her, why...
Sometimes you can expand a line using a little heat and something stuck in the end to force it larger.:wink:
