Actually, no.  I have used aluminum fittings on all oil lines, except the
oil lines running to the turbo, which are steel.  But if my engine is
aluminum, why can't my fittings be aluminum? Is it okay for the engine to
melt?  Or do the fittings get hotter than the engine (which is producing the
heat)?!?!

-- Of the fatalities listed for the LIV on  the government site,
-- I believe only one was due to fire, and that was caused by
-- using Aluminum fittings on the oil lines instead of steel
-- fittings.  (You have used steel fittings, haven't you?).
