Oil pipe — engine to rocker connection
Engine-to-rocker oil feed pipe, part 70-8905 (also listed as E8905).
This is the oil feed pipe that carries oil from the engine up to the rocker box, part number 70-8905, listed in the parts books under the older E8905 designation as well. It shows up across the oil tank, cylinder head/rocker box/exhaust, and oil tank and cooler figures, which tells you it's part of the plumbing run getting oil where it needs to go up top on the head.

On these engines the rockers need a steady oil supply to keep the valve gear lubricated, and this pipe is the link in that circuit between the crankcase side and the rocker box. If yours is cracked, kinked, or leaking at the fittings, oil delivery to the top end suffers, so it's worth a look whenever you've got the top end apart.
