'how do you know'

re: pipe slope and oil

43 years ago built first diy HP from 1968 Chrysler AC which was a 2 cylinder recip compressor. Drove it with a 5HP 184T frame motor (real 5 HP).
Worked great or a few months.

Learned about suction line slope and non-compressible oil slugs when a connecting rod got driven thru the cylinder head!
