this isn't silicone though, it's viton which the factory uses.....i figured something that lasts 13 years is a pretty good buy considering silicone won't last nearly that long

Buy some vacuum line at Autozone or any other parts store. It's cheap and it works fine. I did a bunch on my car when I first got it. 5 years later they're still flexible, no cracks, etc.

i would also change the oil metering lines to SS ones. gotham and rx7store sells them. its a real easy swap when the engine is dis-assembled. also new motor mounts if the old ones are bad.
