Hi Chad,

I am one with stainless steel braided lines for everything forward of the 
firewall (coolant, fuel, oil).  I have had the same set for the life of the 
project (over 11 years now) and have never replace them nor had any leaks. 
That's the upside from my perspective.   The downside is they are expensive 
and heavy.

If I were to do it over, I would still use SS braided lines for the higher 
pressure fuel and oil lines, however, I would opt for good quality auto 
radiator hoses for the coolant.  Those AN-16 lines are heavy and expensive.

FWIW

Edd
