I've been piecing together all the new parts I've bought in anticipation of my new engine getting here soon.
I'd purchased a set of stainless OMP lines as my old plastic ones were just incredibly brittle.
Question is for those that have done it. Any problems with the installation? Anything to watch for?
Thanks!

The stock lines are molded so they fit right on. The stainless ones you'll have to route. It isn't difficult.

When you route it make sure the main crank pulley doesn't rub on it. I used thick wire ties to keep it from dangling.

I suggest connecting at pump first, then route up to injectors on top of engine. I had a hell of a time getting it to twist correctly to line up to pump, due to limited space in that area and stiffness in the new line.

I know you already have them, but I'm not a fan of the stainless lines. The stock lines are very reasonably priced, fit perfectly, and work for a very long time. They only break when they're disturbed (ie, pulling apart a motor). The stainless lines, as the other posters mentioned, need work to be routed properly, need VERY careful attention to what they touch (stainless is like sandpaper - it will rub through ANYTHING over time) and cost more.

Just take your time running them, secure them well, and make sure they can't rub on any hoses, wiring, etc. That's the tricky part. I've had a few bad experiences with stainless hose rubbing holes in things - even had stainless braided oil cooler lines on my old FC that rubbed against each other, making a hole in the line!
