Just a suggestion for people who choose to use flex lines- - - - -install a couple of 6" long black iron (NOT galvanized) pipe nipples into the block to extend past the exhaust pipe. Getting a flex line too close to the exhaust could result in a melted or delaminated line, and a major oil leak that could destroy the engine if you're not accusdtomed to checking the oil pressure gauge frequently.

Any issue using a brass nipple instead?
