pulling motor and still have the stock plastic lines, would eveyone really recomend them? i really dont have another 100 to spend but what happens if they fail? thanks for any input

 

You can just replace them with stock ones pretty cheaply. They work fine.

 

so just new ones that arent brittle? i would think that as well since whatever is on there still is ok and havent broken yet

 

Just hope they don't break once in. I'm surprised Bill didn't do it before just for the added bling factor.

 

new ones are only like 34.00 and mine are still ok, where as ss ones are 100 plus shipping

 

you can make your own if you can find some -2 ss braided line. . . thats what i did.

 

where did you find them? how long and do i need them? any special fittings? i woudl like to if you could supply me with more onfo. that would be great thanks

 

new stock ones are something like 34 *each* from mazda iirc. they arent that easy to make up yourself either. i think the ss mop lines are a smart investment.....when the stockers crack, you will have an oil leak from hell that is a bitch to get at. I recommend spending the 100 bucks (which in FD terms is enough to buy a cup of coffee) for peace of mind.

 

I think thats exactly what you said to me when you sold me my set.

heres a better solution if u want to be able to see that the oil is actually flwing through the lines and save $80 with an easy project

 

If I didn't have SS lines already I would be doing that.

 

Get the SS lines. I replaced mine a little whilte back. Like Goodfella said it's a smart investment. Plus they look pretty.

 

Hey, I am a hell of a salesman.....could sell ice pops to an eskimo

 

Captain... Captain... Captain... tsk tsk tsk. Haha, friend offered me some SS OMP lines, I slaped him and threw down my plastic ones... I'm such a cheapass. Stock ones work fine for me, just be careful when you work near or on them.

 

That's wat I paid for mine $35.00 for one package that had both line in it. If they charged you that for one you got ripped by the dealer.

 

i had a set of plastic ones go on me and caught the whole engine on fire. my suggestion would be go with SS lines.......your engine is not worth it

 

I like that DIY alternative but I bought SS lines for safety sake when my motor went... I'm all for anything that increases reliability and longevity.

i did the ss option so long ago. . . and no rich. . . its not hard at all!!!! anyways, i dont remember the length. . . just get a good amount of line and cut it to length. maybe about 2.5-3 feet. the clamps are oettiker clamps from mcmaster carr. just measure the diameter of your lines and order a package of clamps that compresses in that area. ITS NOT HARD AT ALL!!!

If the engine is coming out, I would recommend the SS lines. I wouldn't recommend upgrading to SS lines just for the heck of it while the engine is still in the car.

 

I've got a set of used ones for sale, if anyone is interested - just PM me with an offer.

 

ah, VERY true!!!!! actually, id almost recommend that the engine come out JUST to change them. . . its a PITA!!!!
