[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 479004, member: 3278"] [size=5]Any preformed hoses need to be replaced with the correct OEM hoses. While the OEM hoses are available by all means grab some! Issues arise when tight bends are attempted with straight hose. Kinked or restricted hoses are the normal result. There is no good way to heat and bend a straight hose. Also keep in mind heating may separate the inner liner. Now for the disclaimer. Years ago OMC used to use a stainless spring inside some of their hoses to keep a tight bend from collapsing. For my old engines I will sometimes make stainless springs from wire stock and do this. As always, the risk is yours to take. [/size] [/QUOTE]
