Both those lines run pretty close to the exhaust pipe, and just a minor mistake in routing them can result in a heat-damaged line that can empty the engine of oil in just a couple of minutes. Some installations I've seen use 1/8" pipe nipples 6" long into the block ports to avoid getting the flex lines too close to the exhaust. Jerry
