Bending Oil Cooler Line

[slimslates]

Recently put on Brock's short meg full exhaust and noticed that the oil cooler line was a little close to head pipe. Brock suggests that only 1/16" clearance necessary but I believe it is a little closer than that, hard to measure. How easy is the oil cooler line to bend? Should I remove the line to bend it or can I bend it while it is still attached? Thanks

The stock lines are flexible between the 2 connectors.
You may be able to pull them away with a slip tie or such.
I was thinking of contacting a hydralic shop and seeing what would be involved to take the connectors off and attach a new longer piece of line between them.
Let us know what works for you.

Thanks, I will give it a try. Probably should wait until its a little warmer, would be easier to bend.

You should be OK.
It is just a hose between the connectors.
It won't keep a bend as it is flexible.
